“A first-rate combination of…feats calculated to boggle the eye and tickle the funny bone of young and old.” *The New York Times

Gather round the circle of the Obie-Award-winning Big Apple Circus for a 30th birthday bash that half a million people in other cities have already experienced. Bring out the confetti, popcorn and cotton candy and get ready to celebrate, right here in The Upper Valley! Named by Variety “the finest up-front-and-close circus to be found in the States,” Big Apple Circus has brought the artistry, intimacy and creativity of classical circus to kids and grownups for 30 years—and this year's entrancing new show continues the magic. From live band and world-class clowning to capering canines and prancing horses; from split-second juggling, balancing and trapeze acts to astounding slack-wire acrobats and aerialists catapulting to the top of the five-story tent, gifted performers from 10 countries create an anniversary extravaganza that's simply “tons of fun!” (The Washington Post). But don't blink—you might miss a trick in America's preeminent single-ring circus!

Big Apple Circus was founded by Dartmouth alum Paul Binder and is a not-for-profit classical circus committed to children, families and the community.
