“ | I was just hoping that this carnival would reel him back into the land of a high school teenager. [...] We're going to be boring high school students who live in a world where the "v" word is not uttered. [...] Then later you're going to take me to the Ferris wheel, we're gonna ride to the very top and then you're gonna kiss me and my heart will flutter like a normal high school girl. Do you see a running theme here? | ” |
The Carnival is an annual event in held at Mystic Falls High School.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries[]
Season Two[]
In Brave New World, Elena Gilbert was the one in charge of the event on behalf of Caroline since she was still in the hospital at the moment.
At the Carnival, Carter flirted with Bonnie. Damon compelled him to pick a fight with Tyler to see if he or Mason will use some supernatural moves. Stefan witnessed the fight and found something unusual with what Mason had acted. Mason jumped really high and Tyler for a second saw Mason's yellow eyes. Jeremy was still mad at Damon and Jeremy thought he was invincible since he had a Gilbert Ring.
Caroline came here after she compelled a nurse to let her go out of the hospital. Caroline killed Carter shortly after running into him. Damon told her he was going to help her (by killing her), but Stefan came. Bonnie was so mad that she put Damon on fire. Elena jumped across the flames and stopped her. At dawn, Stefan brought Elena here for a kiss at the top of the Ferris wheel.
Season Eight[]
In Coming Home Was a Mistake, Seline took Josie and Lizzie to the carnival. Not too much later, at night, the Mystic Falls Gang held the funeral of Tyler Lockwood here.
