2024 Round-Up Ride – Carnival Nights
• One of 10 Carnival Nights stamps celebrating the bright, colorful lights and fun rides at America’s beloved carnivals
Stamp Category: Commemorative

Value: 68¢ First Class Mail Rate (Forever)

Quantity Issued: 18,000,000
Printed by: Banknote Corporation of America

Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate America’s enjoyment of summer carnivals and their iconic lights and amusement rides.
About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a Round-Up Ride at night by Bob Davidson.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the South Mississippi Summer Fair in Biloxi, Mississippi.
About the Carnival Nights set: Includes 10 stamps picturing different photographs of carnival rides lit up in a rainbow of colors.
History the stamp represents: Going to a carnival with friends and family can be one of the most fun ways to spend a summer day. In fact, you might not want to leave at the end of your trip! Thankfully, many carnivals have ways you can take a piece of the fun home with you.
While there usually aren’t vendors selling dedicated carnival souvenirs, there are plenty of things you can bring home. For example, you can win a prize by playing a game (most of us have dreamed of winning one of those giant stuffed animals). Some carnivals have temporary tattoo stands or face painting booths that will give you a fun design that can last up to a few days. Drink vendors sometimes have souvenir cups you can buy to get unlimited refills. And, of course, there are always balloons and balloon animals to buy.
Some carnivals might have more unusual souvenirs such as machines that make elongated coins. You put in a penny (and usually a few quarters as payment) and the machine squishes the penny, pressing a special design into it. Depending on the year your penny was made, it might have streaks of gray among the copper. (Pennies made after 1982 have zinc cores).
No matter what you choose to take home from the carnival – a physical memento or just happy memories – it’s nice to look back on a carefree day of fun.
