The "Central City" is the scene of many and varied events throughout the year. The Foster County Fair, held each fall, is primarily educational, aimed at promoting 4-H Club work, home economics activities, and agricultural development.
Annually, the Foster County Historical Society sponsors a historical one-day tour to sites of interest in the area.
Other annual affairs in Carrington include a Chamber of Commerce-sponsored auto show and the Central Dakota Coin Club show. Frontier Days, a snowmobile derby, and a farmers' appreciation banquet are yearly Jaycees' projects.
