Roll Up, Roll Up! Cartoonival is Coming!
Posted by The Toontown Team on August 20, 2023 at 2:00 PM
Roll up, roll up! The Cartoonival is coming to town! With the arrival of yet another Cartoonival, we have another Toontastic year of pie-throwing, Cog-busting and Trolley-hopping to celebrate! However, this year's Cartoonival stands apart from all the others before. This year we celebrate Toontown Rewritten's 10th anniversary!
Toontown Rewritten has finally reached double digits! And we couldn't have done it without you all! Ten years ago, Toontown Online was closed forever and we never thought we'd be able to throw a Cream Pie at a Cog ever again. It was a miserable moment for Toons all over the world… but that only brought us all closer together! The closure of Toontown Online is now a distant memory of the past and today, there are thousands of Toons roaming the streets of Toontown and battling the Cogs!
What is Toontown's Cartoonival?
The Cartoonival is Toontown's biggest party! There are games to enjoy alone or with friends, as well as funky fair prizes that are only available to buy once a year. Cartoonival truly has something to keep every Toon entertained.
What Happens During the Cartoonival?
On the 19th of September 2023, we're going to be bringing out the shiny Tokens and Party Cannons! We'll kickstart the celebrations with a series of blog posts brought to you by our extraordinary emcee, Riggy Marole! They're sure to keep you in the Toontown spirit!
Here is an overview of what you need to know to enjoy this year's Cartoonival:
- You can join in on the fun by taking a trip to Acorn Acres, where you will find the tunnel that'll lead you to the Cartoonival Event Grounds.
- Be careful not to get too dizzy on the giant Merry-go-Round. (We suggest laying off the jellybeans before you get on.) Nearby, you'll find some fun activities to enjoy while you chat with friends. There are also Jellybean Bags dotted around the grounds so keep your eyes peeled!
- Every three hours, an extravagant fireworks display lights up the sky with a nostalgic Toontown melody. If you arrive early, you'll also be able to catch the sunset!
- You can earn "Cartoonival Tokens" by partaking in the activities. They can then be spent on special items, accessories, and even two unique Toon colors only available once a year!
- You'll be able to meet our team of Token Takers who are stamped with their very distinguishable mustaches. It's impossible to miss them!
- Have a chat with Riggy Marole, the iconic blue rabbit in charge of celebrations at Cartoonival! His giant spotty bow-tie can be seen all the way from The Brrrgh!
- Have fun at the Duck Tank, where you will work alongside other Toons to dunk Cleff, Toontown's favorite duck, using Throw Gags. The more you dunk him, the more prizes you earn!
What is There to Celebrate?
2023 might have been one of the most exciting years for Toontown EVER! We kicked off 2023 with a new, New Year's event! The Toon HQ Takeover! The entirety of Toontown worked hand-in-hand to complete a "TownTask", which was split into three tasks: the 'Punchy Task', the 'Silly Task' and the 'Loopy Task'!
Shortly after the Toon HQ Takeover, ToonFest made a BIG return for Toontown Rewritten's 10th birthday and Toontown Online’s 20th birthday! While we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Toontown Online with the return of all public code items from previous conventions and a brand-new outfit, we had many more announcements to share!
After all these years, we've finally discovered what's been lurking underneath the cloud: Clear Coasts! A tropical beach-themed playground where the Toons can dip their paws in the sea and relax under the sun, away from the Cogs…
While Toons get prepared to have a home away from home, the Cogs' corporate structure has been shaken up, as well. The Toon Resistance discovered that the Cog facilities will soon have four new Supervisors in charge: The Club President, The Office Clerk, The Mint Auditor, and The Factory Foreman. Currently, the Toon Resistance have discovered that they are already brainstorming big changes for the Cog HQs.
Lastly, Toontown Rewritten is finally getting a fresh coat of paint and polish! The announcement of Toontown Remastered means that we can look forward to improved visuals and remarkable reorchestrations of our favorite Toony tunes! Many of our longtime fans might be familiar with this Remastered project (formally called “Toontown Retextured”) being our first ambitious project. We have posted about it A LOT over the years. This was our original labor of love, and we had to learn that we didn't have the right resources at the time we wanted this to launch. We had to put the project on hold to focus on other game improvements over the years, but we can safely say that we are so excited for this to release!
There have been so many adventures that we have shared with you, the community, over these past 10 years. We would have never imagined where this would have taken us. In 2013, we started with a dream to even see if the game could still run. You guys have proven that we can continue to let Toontown thrive.
We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for officially making Toontown Rewritten run LONGER than Disney's Toontown Online. That's an incredible feat! So, Toons of the World, we have one last question:
Are YOU Toon Enough?

Toons of the World, CELEBRATE!
I am toon enough.
Can't wait!
Yes! I AM Toon Enough! I can’t wait to see the new Clear Coasts!
I am looking forward to helping and socializing with Toons.
I'm so excited for the Cartoonival Event and 4 new Supervisors in Cog Facilities.
Thank you so much to everyone for keeping Toontown alive! I know we all were afraid of losing it forever when it closed but seeing it come so far is absolutely amazing!
can't wait for this year's cartoonival!! this year hasn't been great for me but this year's toonfest panels (and toontown in general) has helped lift my mood tons
Woooohooooo! Can't wait to roll up to this year's Cartoonival! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I can't WAIT for Cartoonival! I'm mostly excited to get as many prizes as I can! :)
Gosh. Wow. It's just, heh, it's hard to believe that it's been a whole flippin' DECADE since Toontown has been brought back! I'd just like to say a big, huge, thank you to this great, wonderful, and talented team! Through your efforts and hard work, you guys were able to make the dream of bringing Toontown back to us Toons a reality. And the fact that you don't even get PAID? That proves to me how much you love and care about all of us Toons! Heck, if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't even BE here right now! I know I've said this a million times before, and I'm sure you've all heard this a million times before, but... Thank you all... so much. I'd like to raise a glass of Jellybean Seltzer (my own concoction, by the way) to all of you! Come on everybody, say it with me... Toons of the world...
I'm excited for this year's Toonfest! (Cartoonival) I sure can't wait to see Riggy again, I've missed him!
WOW
Woohoo!
Oh goodie, the fair is in town. Hip hip Hooray, and all that whatnot. Oh, I must say, this is truly something to be proud of. Oh, we should invite some Cold Callers to the festivities! Toon knows they'd be the ones to keep us cool for this summer festival. Oh, & what games to play? What rides to ride? Oh, I do hope there'll be a rollercoaster. Why, I remember there used to be a rollercoaster right in Toontown Central. Unfortunately, the construction crew forgot the brakes, it wasn't until the whole thing fell down did the rollercoaster finally stop. My goodness, those were the days. Well, I'll be sure to visit the fair as soon as I can. Maybe even bring a Cold Caller if I can.
Ohhh I can’t wait !! I want to see Riggy again too !
I can't wait! I just wanna spend the rest of my life in Clear Coasts!
Toontasic I am toon enough! I'm so excited it will be my first cartoonival
love
Will there finally be new prizes to purchase with the tokens from the token takers inside? Each year there are prizes but the total has never added up to what was suppose to be there and every year it's the same old stuff.
WOW! i love to celebrate the newest cartoonival event since toonfest is closed I hope you guys looking forward with this event
I glad to have been a part of the Toontown community for this long in it’s lifetime. We really ARE Toon Enough.
I AM TOON ENOUGH! Toons of the world...UNITE!
Wow! I can't wait, this'll be awesome!
Wow, 10 years already?! Time really does fly when you're having fun! :D Can't wait for the Cartoonival (Always my favorite time of year, beside the winter holiday time) Plus all the exciting things to come. Toons of the world, get ready to PARTY! Because we have so much to celebrate this year. Here's to 10 TOONtastic years and many more! :) <3
... AM I TOON ENOUGH?!?! AM I!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!
I'm so excited to experience the major updates when they release, and for the Cartoonival! I wonder which one of the three major updates will come first?
Omg! Cartoonival is the best. See y'all hitting the back nines from those promo points!
I am sooooo excited for the Cartonival! It is going to be my first time EVER in it! And I am even more excited for Clear Coasts, Toontown Retextured and everything else! Good job, Toons from the Toon HQ! You all made a wonderful job. :)
HURRY UP WITH THE UPDATES
cant wait to sport some new shades!
I can't wait for all of these new updates as well as CATROONIVAL!
Can't wait to experience it all!
We couldn't ask for a better, more dedicated dev team! You took the idea of Toontown and made it something better out of love. All the work that has been done is incredible! Thank you for all your hard work, I'm so excited to see where this project goes!
This is truly amazing. Congrats to the TTR Team on accomplishing such a feat.
Toons of the World, rejoice! The fate that seemed inevitable, losing the game we all cared about, did not stick, the timeline was Rewritten, and the paint has been drying for 10 years! Thank you everyone for keeping the story going, and here's to 10 more! "We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one."— 11th Doctor
Finally the time to get Tokens and max out my Bossbot suit!
Super happy that Toontown is still here & I cannot wait to see the changes that are coming our way!!
Super excited! Thank you for never abandoning Toontown!
SO FUN! TOONTASTIC!!!
This is so amazing. I've been playing before the game even came out (I was a part of the beta)! ToonTown was my absolute childhood-- I played it since the early 2000s-- and this game is simply the best. Thank you for everything that you do! MUCH LOVE!
*Wahh!!!* Oh don't worry, these are happy tears! Its been so incredible playing in Toontown for two whole decades, and I can't wait for the party!
