Midnight Circus at Park No. 596

Midnight Circus brings its traveling big top to Brighton Park on Sunday, September 6, with a 2:00 PM performance that blends aerial acrobatics, juggling, and storytelling. The company, now marking its 20th year, is one of Chicago's most recognized circus troupes, known for staging original shows in neighborhood parks rather than permanent venues. This 2026 edition features an entirely new program, performed under the company's signature tent at the Commissioners' Commons.
