The Big Top will be the greatest show on earth, and the largest performance area. Dancers, burlesque beauties, clowns, muscians, magicians, and more will perform here. We will also enjoy musical performances including DJs, and much more - all under the Big Top.

The House of Mirrors will be our second main performance area, with a focus on softer and more introspective art and performance. Bring your short act, acoustic performance, puppet show, musical theatre act, chill music, downtempo, and more to the House of Mirrors!

The Cage of Fire will keep the pyromaniacs who love fire a little too much at bay... but you will be able to enjoy thier antics from a safe distance while they spin, and twirl and breathe (and eat?) fire!
