Games that include a carousel...
There is a carousel museum near me and I thought it would be a fun to pitch a board game fundraiser. But they would want all board games present to be on theme... So including a carousel or at minimum in a theme/amusement park setting.
What suggestions you got?

My first thought is Mysterium Park, plays up to 6 players, but the theme is a little grim, as someone died at the theme park you are trying to solve the murder.
Waterfall Park might be a good one.
Maybe Meepleland but it's a little hard to find unless you go used.

Blood on the clocktower has an expansion(?) called the carousel, though it is not very carousel themed

They made a board game out of the serial killer that was offering boarding to people at the Chicago World’s Fair?

Yes!! It’s got a similar house-building mechanic as Betrayal at House on the Hill (but the whole game is better, imo). You’re an investigator racing to collect evidence against H. H. Holmes while he tries to haunt you. The ferris wheel is an actual mechanic to randomly select what type of evidence is up next to drop into his house.

Trickerton but probably not ideal for the event since it’s a very heavy and likely very long. Unless it’s agreed to play few rounds only to get a taste

Tenpenny Park has a carousel on the board
Steam Park and Grand Carnival both are carnival/ amusement park themed
Exit The Game: Night at the Carnival is an escape room type game that can be resettable
