North American Midway Entertainment, LLC (NAME) is an American provider of midway services based in Farmland, Indiana that describes itself as "the world's largest traveling outdoor amusement park."[2][3][4] It claims to provide rides, games and food to over 15 million fairgoers every year in 20 states and 4 Canadian provinces, including 10 of the top 50 fairs in North America.[5]

The company represents a merger in 2004 of several midway companies, including part of Conklin Shows, the former Farrow Shows from Jackson, Mississippi, and Thebault-Blomsness (Astro Amusements and All Star Amusements). Later acquisitions were Mid America Shows and part of Cumberland Valley Shows.

North American Midway Entertainment was acquired by Townsquare Media of Greenwich, Connecticut in August 2015. Current management and operations of the company will remain the same.[6]
