"Performers routinely hit the road to perform in New York City, but the Flotsam River Circus hit the river instead with its waterfront spectacle part Cirque de Soleil, part Ringling Brothers and part Huckleberry Finn. This one-of-a-kind circus, a kind of Huckleberry on the Hudson for a few days, assembles a collection of experienced circus performers from around the world on a ragtag raft converted into a stage on the river."
"There is another free show tonight, September 12, 6-7:30 at Pebble Beach in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Two more New York City shows follow, Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14, 6-7:30 p.m. on southwestern Randall's Island, near the Ward's Island pedestrian bridge. Performances are free, but audiences are asked to contribute to help keep this traveling circus afloat. More information about Flotsam River Circus and its New York shows is available at rivercircus.com."
"Since 2019, they have performed in front of tens of thousands across 13 states and travelled over 2,000 river miles, plus thousands on the road. Crowds gathered on land to watch their waterfront shows from the Willamette River in Oregon to the Mississippi. The troupe in 2024 completed their biggest tour, traveling the length of the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Paducah."
Flotsam River Circus converts a ragtag raft into a floating stage and assembles experienced performers from around the world for waterfront shows. The troupe opened in New York at Barretto Point Park in the Bronx and scheduled additional free performances at Brooklyn Bridge Park and Randall's Island, with audiences encouraged to contribute. The stage is the boat and the audience watches from shore, with live music accompanying acts and the waves affecting the setup. Since 2019 the circus has reached tens of thousands across 13 states, traveling over 2,000 river miles and completing a major Ohio River tour in 2024.
