FLOTSAM! River Circus in Grafton
Flotsam! River Circus is returning to Grafton on Wednesday, August 26th! Their performance will take place at the Port of Grafton Lighthouse.
Flotsam is a troupe of musicians, circus artists, and puppeteers who travel on a handmade raft, giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way.
The show is family-friendly, but intended for audiences of all ages. The performance starts at 6:30 pm and will be finished before 8:00. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for a good spot! Accessibility note: there is a path to a flat gravel area near the Turtle Sculpture that could work for wheelchairs.
The show is free to attend, but they keep the project afloat through donations. There is a suggested donation of $10–$25 per person. Cash is welcome, or you can Venmo us at @rivercircus.
Parking is somewhat limited, so please consider carpooling, biking, kayaking, or teleporting. If you are considering arriving by boat, please note that the show is much better viewed from shore — and they ask that no boats position themselves behind them during the performance.
