Wade Shows was founded in 1912 by Lee Wade. The show played small events in and around Detroit, Michigan. For 93 years, Wade Shows has been the leader in bringing affordable family entertainment to the people of Michigan and as the company has grown carnival fans throughout the country. As the company has expanded, we continue this tradition with our customers throughout the country.
For the past 25 years, Wade Shows has been under the ownership and direction of Frank Zaitshik. Frank has taken the company from a small, Michigan based show to a truly national organization with offices in both Michigan and Florida. Frank’s style of personal management, team building and continuous improvement is the guiding force to the phenomenal success of the show.
Wade Shows now owns over 100 amusement rides and attractions and services over 15 million people each year. Wade Shows plays more State Fairs than any other carnival in history, working with great events such as the Oklahoma State Fair, the North Carolina State Fair, the Michigan State Fair, The New Mexico State Fair, the Delaware State Fair, the Florida State Fair, and the Alabama National Fair. Wade Shows also works with many large county and regional fairs as well as city and civic sponsored events. One of America's premier carnival companies, Wade Shows is consistently ranked as one of the top five amusement companies by our industry’s leading trade magazine: Amusement Business.
Wade Shows brings thrilling rides, presented in an amusement park-like setting, with a commitment to bring the most customer friendly midway in the country to our events. Keeping these goals in mind, we will continue to progress, one smile at a time, into the 21st Century.
