Two tight hours of aerials, acrobatics, comedy, and live music: easy to plan, impossible to forget.
NYC, we’re here!
The tent is up, the lights are on, and the city that never sleeps is our stage.
FL!P Circus brings its signature mix of live music, fearless acts, and pure skill to the city that never sleeps.
From the Bronx to Queens to Brooklyn, each stop will feel like its own celebration, different neighborhoods, same electric energy under one big-top sky.
This isn’t just another tour stop... It’s a season-long adventure through the heart of NYC: laughter, flips framed by park trees, and finales that glow against winter nights, the kind of night that keeps popping up on local “things to do in NYC” lists.
We’re here for a few short weeks in each borough, scroll down to see where the tent lands next and how you can be part of the magic.
Why this tour hits just right for the season
Each borough has its heartbeat... and inside FL!P’s tent, you hear them all together.
Big-city lights outside, warm big-top glow inside. FL!P Circus brings fearless artists, live music, and pure craft together for nights that feel both festive and close-to-home.
Aerial straps, rola bolla, hand-to-hand balance, slack wire, and contact juggling flow one into another under the band’s rhythm.
Two hours of energy, teamwork, and shared laughs for every age group.

Stop 1: Bronx — The Mall at Bay Plaza (through early November)
The Mall at Bay Plaza makes show night easy: transit access, plenty of food, and the tent set right by the mall. You can eat or grab a quick shop at spots like Macy’s, Dallas BBQ, Apple, Sephora, or AMC and then walk to the big-top...
Mall energy outside; classic big-top inside. You’ll hear the drum hit meet a flip, then the brass crown the pose, our band plays to the action, not the other way around.
Stop 2: Queens — Forest Park (Nov 7–25)
Forest Park is one of Queens’ green gems.
The Circus sets up near 101 Forest Park Drive (Forest Park Cricket Field area). It’s a relaxed, tree-lined setting; families often make it a park day + circus night.
You step from trees into lights. Inside, you’re close to the ring, watch tiny balance corrections on rola bolla and the “stillness” moments on slack wire.
Climate-controlled big top and accessible seating. That means comfort in hot or chilly weather.
Stop 3: Brooklyn — McCarren Park (Nov 28–Dec 14)
Our final NYC stop lands at McCarren Park on the Williamsburg/Greenpoint line—776 Lorimer St. area per local listings.
The park is a North Brooklyn hub with fields, the iconic pool, weekend Greenmarket, and plenty of food spots nearby, so it’s perfect for a friends-and-family night out.
Neighborhood buzz + holiday sparkle. Come after Thanksgiving with visiting family, or make it your early December tradition.
What you’ll actually see under the tent
Aerial straps & pole — picture-ready lines and strength holds.
Hand-to-hand balancing — slow presses, long holds, breath-perfect timing.
Rola bolla — board on a roller, then stacked higher for bigger cheers.
Slack wire — the quiet, still moments are the hardest.
Contact juggling — “floating” spheres kids can track from up close.
Clowning without words — physical comedy with musical punchlines.
Live band — the score catches landings and crowns finales; it’s part of the act timing.
