This carnival originated as the Perth Building Society Lightning Carnival in December 1979 at Forster Park. The name was changed to the Challenge Cup in 1995, back to Lightning Carnival in 2003, and then to HBF Tee-Ball Carnival in 2004. In November 2019, it was renamed to Warren Lake Carnival to honour Mr. Warren Lake for his outstanding services to tee-ball for over 40 years.
The Warren Lake Carnival is a one-day competition carnival for regular club teams who are nominated or selected to represent their club. Each team plays 4x 40-minute games on a Sunday in late November or early December.
