The adult-style carnival will kick off during Super Bowl weekend.

Shaquille O’Neal and Netspend have partnered to put on this year’s Shaq’s Fun House. The festival will kick off on February 10, 2023 at Talking Stick Resort in Phoenix, Arizona.

Tickets will go on sale for general admission on December 16, with pre-sale tickets and VIP access passes on sale the day before. Festival passes will include complimentary dining, along with a six-hour open bar.

Through the years, the annual event has welcomed more than 25,000 fans. The festival this year will feature a carnival midway with rides, games and entertainment, including a headliner performance by the rap legend, Snoop Dogg.

O’Neal reminisced about previous Fun House years and said he looks forward to partnering with Netspend for next year’s festivities.

He said: "It's been amazing to see the growth of the Fun House over the last five years and we're excited to bring it to the people of Phoenix. We continue to set the standard for fun.

"We're thrilled to have Netspend come on board this year and allow us to go bigger and better and even fly in fans to experience what the Fun House is all about."

Netspend President Kelley Knutson spoke about the company’s desire to engage the community through an event that encourages people to achieve their financial goals.

Knutson commented: "We've long been drawn to Shaq's incredible commitment to generosity, giving, and community support. With Shaq's larger-than-life Fun House event, we're thrilled to celebrate an incredible weekend with fans and attendees.

"The opportunity to participate in Shaq's Fun House is a unique way for Netspend to align our commitment to financial access and inclusion. Through our mobile accounts, Netspend is focused on empowering people to achieve their financial dreams and build a better financial future."
