Join the Circus Smirkus Big Top Tour for some Fee Fi Fo Fun, as they continue a 22-year tradition of theme-based shows with a magical mix of treasured tales and fractured fables retold in center ring, called Smirkus Ever After.

Our famed youth circus will turn the pages on Aesop, the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson, bringing classic stories to life through the spectacle and enchantment of circus.

It's sure to thrill and delight children and adults of all ages. So race the tortoise all the way to Grandmother’s house, grab a seat by the Storyteller and get ready for a circus of happily ever after.

Circus Smirkus

Abolutely the best circus we have ever been too! Perfect for a family night out. The kids got to sit right up close on mats next to the ring. Every seat in the tent is good. The people were friendly, the popcorn was yummy & the entertainment was fatastic! They are an amazing troop. A must see for yourself. Five stars from this spectator!!!!!

Three Cheers

Wonderful show. The fact that it is all done by kids of all ages is remarkable. The venue is perfect for kids to watch this colorful, energetic show up close. From the clowns & antics to the talents of juggling, acrobatics and more - the whole family will be entertained. My active three year old son was even mesmerized. And that never happens! Show runs about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. Overall, a great evening out with the family.

Definitely Go See Circus Smirkus

This is a must-see circus for the under-6 set (and probably for older kids, too). My husband and I took our 3 1/2 year old, her friend who's 2 1/2, and our 2-month-old baby last weekend to one of the performances in Concord. Although it was too hot in the tent for my husband and our infant (definitely bring a hand-held fan!), the girls and I *loved* it. The young people who perform are incredibly talented; the pace is fast enough to keep preschoolers interested but not so fast as to confuse them; the clowning is funny, witty, goofy, and never scary; the performances appealed to kids and adults alike; the tent is so small that virtually any seat is a good seat -- this truly was a circus to savor. We plan to attend every year!

Circus Smirkus

Don't miss it!! It's great for all ages, young and old. I have been bringing my 3 year old daughter for a few years, and she sits through it all. You won't find any more talented children. Under the bigtop, you'll see juggling, trapeze, high wire, aerielists, and more.
