Strates Shows provides amusement rides, games of skill, tasty foods and merchandise concessions to fairs and festivals throughout the United States. Strates Shows was founded in 1923 by James E. Strates and remains family owned and operated today. To learn more about our colorful past visit our HISTORY page. A caravan of 300 to 500 people move with Strates Shows and its independent operators (BOOKING). If you're dreaming of running away with the carnival, check out our EMPLOYMENT page.

James E. Strates Shows' season gets started in early spring each year and runs through November. To find out if the show is coming to a town near you, see our ROUTE page.
