We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new tradition coming to Norwood this fall: House of Cards Carnivale. Running October 1–5, this five-day festival will transform Factory 52 into a vintage-inspired celebration of music, food, rides, and entertainment. Designed to honor our roots as the former U.S. Playing Card Company, the Carnivale blends boardwalk magic with local flavor to create a one-of-a-kind experience right here on our campus.
The Carnivale will take over our eastern parking lot and fill it with energy and excitement. Visitors can expect the full carnival experience—classic rides that light up the skyline, game vendors ready to test your luck, and a rotating lineup of live performances that keep the party going into the evening. A curated food and beverage program will showcase everything from nostalgic carnival snacks to favorite Factory 52 flavors, making it the perfect spot to gather with friends or bring the whole family.
Whether you’re here for the thrill of the rides, the taste of something delicious, or the atmosphere of live music under the lights, there’s something for everyone to discover.
House of Cards Carnivale is more than just a week of fun—it’s a celebration designed to light up Norwood with energy, color, and community spirit. With its vintage flair, carnival classics, and nods to our playing-card heritage, the Carnivale will bring people of all ages together for an experience unlike anything else in the region. From the thrill of the rides to the taste of your favorite festival foods, this October is your chance to make lasting memories right here at Factory 52.
