The Dearborn Homecoming Carnival with two dozen rides is open 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3-5.

Half-day (11 a.m.-5 p.m.) wristbands: $13.
Full-day (11 a.m.-10:30 p.m.) wristbands: $18.
Companion wristbands for guardians $8 (restrictions apply).

Those who purchased presale tickets online should print a receipt, and bring that, along with their I.D., to the carnival ticket booth onsite at the festival to exchange it for an all-day wrist band for that day. Purchasers do not have to specify online which day they will be using the wrist band.
    
All-day wrists bands purchased onsite Aug. 3-5 are $18, still a good value for the two dozen rides at the carnival, including a popular and thrilling water ride and the Giant Wheel.
    
Half-day wristbands can be purchased onsite for $13 and cover ridership from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Companion tickets, meant for adults to accompany children on certain rides, have remained at $8. Other prices apply.
    
There are no refunds on any carnival tickets or on wristbands.
