Newport Beach’s Balboa Island had a carnival atmosphere Sunday afternoon, which was fitting given that the Balboa Island Improvement Assn. and Balboa Village Merchant Assn. were presenting the Balboa Island Carnival & Taste of the Island.

The event on Marine Avenue, the island’s main thoroughfare, featured carnival games, rides, a dunk tank, bungee jumping, raffles and food from several area restaurants.
