Welcome to Secret Circus, the midwests worst kept secret. We love welcoming new people into our family and are always happy to guide you around the circus. If you are new to camping music festivals check out this festival camping checklist for great ideas on what to bring. We always ask that you avoid glass containers of any sort, bring plenty of water, and please recycle and dispose of any waste of course!
Beyond the merchants and artisans, the musicians and the visual artists, the flow artists and the acrobats, we offer tubing on the river, great food, and many laughs and wonders.
You've got questions, we've got answers!

Animals, especially dogs, have sensitive ears. Based on the loud volume levels at this event we recommend leaving your pets at home. If you choose to bring your pet, keep them leashed at all times. By wishes of the property owners, although we love them dearly, Pitbull Breeds are not allowed onsite. Dogs are not allowed in the river.
Everyone needs a little rest to enjoy each days activities that have been carefully planned for you! For the respect of everyone's neighbors no amplified music is allowed onsite by ticket purchasers.
Our events could not run as smoothly without the help from our super volunteers. If you would like to earn your ticket through volunteering please fill out our online volunteer application today!
