Company History
In 1935, the late Eugene Dean and the late Jack Flynn teamed up in the amusement park business (Dean & Flynn) in Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. They combined their talents and business acumen to create wholesome family entertainment with emphasis on quality and the importance of fair play.
In 1950, the two showmen signed a contract to provide the carnival midway at the historic Topsfield Fair. Today, over 50 years later, Fiesta Shows continues as the exclusive carnival partner at the nation’s oldest fair – entertaining over 500,000 patrons annually.
As the demand for wholesome family entertainment grew, so did Dean & Flynn. In 1967, Dean & Flynn purchased Fiesta Shows. Over the past few decades, Fiesta Shows has enjoyed remarkable growth and has become an annual tradition in scores of New England communities. Today, Fiesta Shows is the largest New England-based carnival in the business, and certainly, one of the biggest in the entire Northeast. Fiesta Shows owned over 100 amusement rides, from the traditional Merry-Go-Round and Tilt-A-Whirl to the Big Splash Flume Ride and thrilling Freak Out and Speed XXL.
