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.
