20th Century Circus (at Ohio Renassance Festival Grounds)

Details

Photos: courtesy of Kalynn Osburn review referenced below.

What: Old Time Circus Acts under the Big Tent, performers in 1920s costumes, performed at night. Photograph magicians, jugglers, acrobats, comedy, and other acts. Since this is not really a meetup this event is open to all members, guests, etc.

Where: at the Ohio Renaissance Festival grounds, in Harveysburg (see address below); Note: it can take about 30+ minutes to reach the grounds from Cincinnati.

When: Circus show runs 7-10 pm, but get there 30 minutes early for parking, passing thru the entrance, and walking to the tent. Get a couple of cold drinks, popcorn, or cotton candy on your way into the tent at the concession stand. If it is warm a hand fan may be something for you.

Tickets: you can order your own tickets at the web-site below (copy & paste into your browser). I would recommend front row seating ($37+fee) to get the best camera shots, however, for a few bucks less you can get tickets in Premium in the second row ($30+fee). General Admission seating is the least expensive ($27+fee) but you may find the visibility less appealing. Tix for children are $14+fee.

Photography Etiquette: the review below noted that photography was encouraged, however, I am going to bet that flash is NOT!
