Fiesta® Carnival

Wade Shows was founded in 1912 by Lee Wade. The show played small events in and around Detroit, Michigan.

For the past 30 years, Wade Shows has been under the ownership and direction of Frank Zaitshik.

Wade Shows now owns over 100 amusement rides and attractions and services over 15 million people each year.

Wade Shows plays more State Fairs than any other carnival in history, working with great events such as the Oklahoma State Fair, the North Carolina State Fair, the Missouri State Fair, The South Florida Fair, the San Antonio Livestock Show and Exhibition, the Alabama State Fair, the Delaware State Fair, the Florida State Fair, and the Alabama National Fair.

Wade Shows is consistently ranked as one of the top five amusement companies by our industry’s leading trade publication: CarnivalWarehouse.com.

Customer service amenities include shaded seating area, color-coordinated canvas, height signs and our all-new Gold Access Program, offer more opportunities for guests than any other carnival.

Wade Shows is also the greenest carnival on the road today, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on initiatives such as replacing the lighting on our rides with LED lighting, purchasing the most fuel-efficient generators available, using bio-diesel when available for our power plants and initiating midway recycling programs with our fair partners.

Wade Shows features the best selection of portable amusement rides in North America, including four roller coasters, four giant wheels, and a variety of major, family, and kiddie rides for all ages.

Wade Shows features a wide variety of state fair quality food concessions. From Turkey Legs to Elephant Ears, we have the goods to satisfy your cravings.
