Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr., the City of Hammond Department of Parks & Recreation, and Modern Midways are excited to announce the return of the Carnival Mega Pass for the 21st Annual Festival of the Lakes, offering exclusive access to the festival's carnival rides!
Carnival Mega Passes are available now for just $70 online at www.FestivaloftheLakes.com or in person at the Hammond Civic Center Business Office, located at 5825 S. Sohl Ave. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can pay in person with cash or by Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
For added convenience, Mega Passes will also be available at the Modern Midways Ticket Booth at Wolf Lake Memorial Park during the festival for $80. Don’t miss out—buy your Mega Pass now to save $10!
The 2025 Festival of the Lakes concert lineup does not include a Saturday ticketed show, so the Mega Pass grants unlimited access to carnival rides throughout the festival, taking place from July 16th-20th, including Saturday, from opening to closing each day. To get your wristband, which must be worn for the duration of the festival for ride access, simply bring your pass or online barcode to the Modern Midways office at Wolf Lake Memorial Park starting Wednesday, July 16th at 5 p.m.
Please note that Mega Passes are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once purchased. The discounted $70 Mega Passes will be available until Tuesday, July 15th at 4 p.m., or while supplies last, at the Hammond Civic Center or online at www.FestivaloftheLakes.com. For more information, call 219-853-6378.
