Thornebrooke Carnival
Our biggest fundraiser of the year takes place every late February or early March—and it's a night you won't want to miss! Rain or shine, the Thornebrooke Carnival is packed with bounce houses, rides, games, food trucks, concessions, class baskets, and our wildly popular Silent and Teacher Auctions. There's something for everyone!
Silent Auction & Teacher Auction
Score amazing deals and one-of-a-kind experiences thanks to our generous sponsors and dedicated auction committee. The Silent Auction features everything from theme park tickets, theater passes, mini golf, and local attractions to restaurant gift cards, spa packages, sporting goods, and more. The Teacher Auction offers can't-miss experiences like front-row seats for school performances and awards ceremonies, plus special teacher-hosted events including ice cream parties, crafts, movies, and other fun activities.
Have a business or item you'd like to donate? We'd love to hear from you!
Carnival Attractions
A Carnival Wristband gives your child unlimited access to the attractions, including bounce houses, laser tag, rides, human foosball, a rock-climbing wall, and more. Wristbands are only needed for the attractions—admission to the Carnival is free.
Food Trucks, Concessions, and Dunk Tank
Carnival Tickets ($1 each) can be used for food trucks, concessions like pizza, popcorn, cotton candy, and other treats, plus everyone's favorite—the Dunk Tank! Watch Thornebrooke teachers and administrators take turns in the hot seat while students try to dunk their favorite staff members.
Class Baskets
Each classroom curates and donates a themed Class Basket, with favorites ranging from LEGO®, Star Wars™, and Barbie™ to golf, beach days, family game night, coffee, wine, Orlando City, cash, lottery tickets, and more. Purchase Carnival Tickets ($1 each), drop them into your favorite basket drawings, and stick around for the exciting winners' announcements at the end of the evening. Most baskets are valued at $150 or more!
Wristbands, Tickets, and Volunteering
Wristbands and Carnival Tickets are available to purchase online and during morning carline in the days leading up to the event. Follow our website and social media for sale dates and event updates.
The Carnival wouldn't be possible without our amazing volunteers! Whether you can help with setup, concessions, games, auctions, or cleanup, even a one-hour shift makes a huge difference—and still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the evening with your family.
