2026 SCIUC Registration

Carnival Registration for 2026

This year's Carnival is scheduled for August 13-16, 2026 at the Lake County Fairgrounds, Two Harbors, Minnesota.

Personal Information

Your personal information will only be used for registration purposes, contacting you in case of registration issues, sending you the music and other information, and to keep you updated on SCIUC events and news.

Each person should fill out their own separate registration form.
This is needed to print name badges, drawing coupons, dinner tickets, etc.

If you are having trouble using this form, I would recommend using a different browser, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.

Camping

Are you interested in camping at the Carnival (Lake County Fairgrounds)?

The Fairgrounds is charging us $10 per week per camper hookup. Our suggested donation for camping is $10/night with electric hookup, and $5/night for non-electricity. The extra donated money will help fund the Carnival. You will pay for your camping when you check in at the registration area at the Carnival.

Be aware that the electrical system will handle lights and refrigerators only; no air conditioning. If you want guaranteed 50-amp service (and other RV amenities), we would suggest that you make a reservation at the nearby Burlington Bay Campground.

You will be able to camp starting Tuesday, August 11, 2026, in the afternoon.

You have to reserve your camping spot when you register online. Please do not contact the Fairgrounds directly; they cannot handle your request.

Choose yes if you are interested in camping right at the Carnival site at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
Choose yes if you are looking for electricity for your camper or tent.
Please let us know the approximate size of your tent, trailer, or RV.
