Body:
A French carnival has descended on Governors Island in New York. Fête Paradiso is a collection of antique carnival rides that were restored in France before making their way to New York City with a Bastille Day debut dubbed The Parisian Ball. This is the first time Fête Paradiso has come to the United States and it's open to the public on weekends through September 29. Tickets are $3 per ride. You can take a free ferry to Governors Island from the Battery Maritime Building next to the Staten Island Ferry in Lower Manhattan.
