2023 Saxonburg Carnival -- June 27-July 1
Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company is committed to serving the residents and businesses in south-eastern Butler County. Saxonburg VFC does NOT receive ANY tax support and therefore must spend hundreds of hours in fundraising efforts to cover the operational costs necessary to serve this community. This is in addition to the hundreds of hours spent training for and responding to emergencies. We truly appreciate the support we receive for these efforts.

One of Saxonburg VFC's major fundraising efforts is the annual Firemen’s Carnival. This event has been a tradition in Saxonburg and very popular event in past years. In recent years, Fireman's Carnival has been less effective as a major fundraiser.

Saxonburg VFC is proud to announce that we are returning to the traditional Carnival with C&L Shows as our 2023 ride vendor and Carnival dates of Tuesday, June through 27 Saturday, July 1.

We are planning a 2023 Pet Parade on Tuesday, June 27. We are happy to provide this community event for friends and families to gather for great food, good games and great rides.

We are also planning the 2023 Fireman's Parade on Thursday, June 29. Thank you for your continued support and we hope you’ll come to the event and enjoy the program that is planned.
