Destination Outlets in Jeffersonville will offer its first annual spring carnival and a vaccination day to shoppers starting this weekend.
Destination Outlets, which this past January took ownership of the outlet mall at I-71/U.S. 35 (formerly known as Tanger), is continuing its transformation into a destination with shopping, food, fun and entertainment for the whole family.
The traveling Chiketti Family Amusement Park will be at Destination Outlets on May 15-16 and May 20-23 with rides and food.
“Our goal is to transform Destination Outlets into an exciting destination for the surrounding local counties and for shoppers from near and far,” said Jeff Weissman, a management team partner. “Shop, eat, play is our tagline and we’ve been working hard and making great progress in all three. We are thrilled that Chiketti Family Amusement is coming to Destination Outlets. The spring carnival will be a great family event and is just the start of what promises to be a fun-filled spring and summer at Destination Outlets.”
The spring carnival at Destination Outlets will run on the following schedule: Saturday, May 15 from 12-8 p.m.; Sunday, May 16 from 12-6 p.m.; Thursday, May 20 from 3-8 p.m.; Friday, May 21 from 3-8 p.m.; Saturday, May 22 from 12-8 p.m.; and Sunday, May 23 from 12-6 p.m.
