Event Details
Held on Saturdays — and select Sundays — from April through December, Carillon Park Rail & Steam Society miniature train rides offer fun for the entire family. Established in 1984, the Society operates a 7.5-gauge (1/8th full-scale) miniature railroad throughout Carillon Historical Park.
Each June, CPRSS hosts its signature event: Carillon Park Rail Festival. This two-day celebration of railroading features free miniature train rides, live steam engines, model train displays, historical exhibits, rail vendors, and train-themed merchandise — making it a must-see event for train enthusiasts of all ages.
