Understanding Paragon Carousel Hours
Operations at the Paragon Carousel are seasonal. The Carousel is open to the public on weekend days in the Spring and Fall; we operate seven days per week beginning in mid-June through Labor Day.
Events booked during these times will be during Carousel operating hours and will not be private to your party.
Want the Carousel all to yourself? While the Carousel building is not heated or prepared for events during the snowy months, consider booking a weekday event during our Spring and Fall operations.
Serving Alcohol at the Paragon Carousel
For the safety of all guests, only professional bartenders from a Licensed and Insured Bartending Company are allowed to serve alcoholic beverages at Paragon Carousel events. Please inquire about our Preferred Vendors.
A One-Day Liquor License from the Hull Board of Selectmen is required for all events that plan to serve alcohol. Please give the Carousel a minimum of four weeks’ advance notice of your intention to serve alcohol or we cannot guarantee your license.
All alcoholic beverages must be consumed in your party area; no alcoholic beverages may be removed from the building.
No food or beverage is allowed on the Carousel itself.
