“Amesbury's City Hall Auditorium becomes a big top for one unforgettable event. With gravity-defying performances where skill, balance, and showmanship take center stage, internationally celebrated circus performers share the stage with our own neighbors and friends. Stroll our artist midway to discover treasures from local makers, then settle in for a one-of-a-kind show. Tickets are pay what you will—because this magic is for everyone.”

Craft market will be from 10a-2pm and the circus starts at 3pm.
