We’ve seen a lot of new friends join our little circus family so we thought it was time for a little re-introduction! Not to mention we turn 20 years old this year! 🎉
We’re Midnight Circus in the Parks! 🎪
✨ We’re a Chicago based circus whose mission is to bring world-class entertainment to communities across Chicago while raising money for the parks we perform at! It’s as simple as that 🥰
We begin rehearsals each summer and we tour over Chicago (and beyond) into the fall! Give us a follow if you want to stay up to date on our 2026 tour! 💙

We’ve effectively… DOUBLED your chances! 😱
🙌🏻 Instead of raffling off just ONE of our vintage logo hoodies, we’ve decided to auction off TWO! That means every ticket entered doubles your chances to win!
All in celebration of our 20th anniversary, continuing to raise funds to help us keep tickets affordable for families across Chicagoland 🥰

🌟 Summer 2024 🌟This is what I call doing the right thing at the right place, at the right time, with the right people 🥳 It feels like pure magic. Live performance and this whole circus lifestyle are like magic—you blink and it’s gone. Stay here and now. Be brave. World is ending. That’s all we have.
Ft. @keatonhk and @bellarousse 😍🙌
