Carowinds will open for three extra summer dates from Wednesday, August 19, through Friday, August 21, 2026. The park plans to offer favorite rides, entertainment, and dining during all three bonus days.
Carolina Harbor will not operate on those dates. Guests planning an August 19-21 visit should build the day around the theme park offerings and leave waterpark plans for another operating date.
What is included
The three added dates will include a selection of Carowinds rides, entertainment, and dining. Check the park’s current listings before arriving for the available lineup.
Carolina Harbor
Carolina Harbor is excluded from the bonus-day schedule. That closure applies to Wednesday, August 19, Thursday, August 20, and Friday, August 21.
Check the calendar
Carowinds directs guests to its official park calendar and hours page for the full schedule. Check that page again before leaving home because operating hours and available experiences can change.
The key planning note is simple: Carowinds has three additional theme park days in late August, but Carolina Harbor is not part of them.
