“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams…” The Bainbridge legend of Clyde Beatty reminds us that with creativity and ingenuity, anything is possible. For decades circuses brought entertainment and inspiration to families across the world. Beyond that, they were families themselves; the circus provided a home and purpose for individuals from all walks of life to celebrate their differences and come together as one. Big Top Bainbridge celebrates the human spirit and shines a light on the magic that can happen when dreams collide with perseverance.
