🎪✨🎃 You’re Invited: Big Surcus Harvest Celebration & Kids Camp – Oct 10–15
Dear Parents, Friends, and Supporters of Big SuRCuS & Little SuRCuS,
This autumn, as the days shorten and the harvest moon rises, we invite you to gather in community and creativity at the Big Surcus Harvest Celebration — a week-long journey of circus arts, seasonal joy, and family connection.
At its heart, this celebration is about children: their courage, playfulness, and radiant creativity. Over the course of several days, young performers will rehearse, explore, and create together — culminating in a festive Harvest Ball and Kids’ Showcase that welcomes the whole community. Please share this with friends and neighbors!

🌟 Our Vision
The Harvest Celebration is more than an event — it’s a gathering place for imagination, connection, and belonging. Children ages 8–18 will learn circus-inspired skills, practice courage, and prepare to share their artistry with family and friends. Adults will join in too, through playful workshops and community building.
Together, we’ll honor the season, celebrate our children, and create memories as the harvest moon wanes and the veil thins.
