WATER VALLEY – It is beginning to look a lot like Watermelon Carnival season in Water Valley, and the first sure sign is always the arrival of the official Carnival T-shirts.
The 2026 Watermelon Carnival T-shirts are now on sale at the Water Valley Area Chamber of Commerce office for $20 each. Shirts are available in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes, from youth small to adult 4X, while supplies last.
This year’s Watermelon Carnival will be held Friday, July 31, and Saturday, August 1. With Carnival weekend always arriving faster than expected, shoppers are encouraged to stop by the Chamber office early to pick out their shirts before favorite sizes and colors are gone. Shipping is also available for those who are unable to stop by the Chamber office. For more information or to check availability, contact the Chamber office at 662-473-1122.
