According to the 6abc data journalism team, at least seven recent carnivals or fairs in the tri-state were either canceled pre-emptively or shut down due to safety concerns.

St. Charles Borromeo Church's week-long carnival in Cinnaminson, New Jersey kicked off Monday night."This is our single largest fundraiser. It allows us to fund many of our ministries. It supports our school, it does many things to help us, and help others," said Father Daniel Kirk.Cinnaminson Police Captain William Obuchowski said the post was made in direct response to recent incidents where groups have caused chaos at public events.

Just this weekend, six people were arrested at Pennsauken's Summer Kickoff event, including two juveniles. "Hopefully people aren't acting reckless at this carnival so everybody can enjoy themselves," said Melissa Hartzell of Maple Shade. Cinnaminson Township police and church officials confirm there will be an increased police presence at the carnival throughout the week. Items like backpacks, hoodies, and masks are also not permitted.
