Downtown Carnival and Flea Market
Starting on Wednesday, Britt's northern Main Street is transformed into a makeshift carnival. Originally, the carnival consisted of rides like the Scrambler, Merry-Go-Round, and others. However, over the years, due to complaints about injuries from the rides, and problems with the carnival workers, this was changed to mostly inflatable attractions.
The flea market is usually located on the southern end of Main Street.

“To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
