Horses on a carousel
Acording to Rexburg's website, the carousel was made in 1926 and, after some time in a traveling carnival, the carousel eventually settled in Porter Park in 1952

On Friday, May 29, 2026, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., as part of its weeklong Flood 50 event, Rexburg hosted a festival to open its Carousel.

The event featured many booths sponsored by local businesses, a water slide, a rock-climbing wall, bouncy houses and the Porter Park Carousel. These photos provide a glimpse into the festivities.
