4th Annual Circus Festival
Sunday, July 26, 2015 – 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
NOW Hunters Point | Jennings St and Cargo Way, SF
Free, but an RSVP is requested.

The event opens at 12 noon with the giant 100′ Fun Slide, hobnobbing with stilt walkers, circus games, arts activities, face painting, music, local food and vendors in sunny Bayview right by the water at NOW Hunters Point.

The Circus performance begins at 1:45 pm, opening with the Prescott Circus Theatre, a non-profit organization aiming to empower and engage youth through circus and theater arts education. Prescott Circus Theatre offers circus instruction free of charge and almost exclusively to low-income children. Prescott’s exciting young performers will demonstrate the physical circus skills, teamwork, cooperation, and grace under pressure that prepares them to succeed in school and life.

They will be followed by Circus Bella, an open air contemporary circus. Circus Bella showcases static trapeze, rope walking, a 9-person juggling act, contortion, hula hoop, original clowning and more. The music is originally composed and directed by the highly acclaimed Rob Reich and draws from French Waltz, New Orleans Jazz, Klezmer, and American Circus March. Circus Bells creates a one-ring circus that uplifts diverse audiences, engages community, and challenges its artists.
