Le Carrousel

Magician juggling in front of a crowd
Angelito Jusay
August 5, 2025, 11:00am–8:00pm

Take a whirl at Le Carrousel in Bryant Park. There are 14 delightful creatures to ride, or become the charioteer! 

Our carousel was specially created to complement the park and its French classical style, and is an homage to both European and American carousel traditions. The animals, replicas of classic carousel creatures, revolve to the sounds of French cabaret music. The rounding boards, inspired by Bryant Park’s elegant barouque-style torchères along 40th Street, blend into the leafy canopy of the park’s London plane trees. Enjoy the ride!
