Summer Extravaganza at Myers Park Country Club

Closing out the summer in true Imagine Circus style, our performers entertained in Charlotte, NC at Myers Park Country Club for their annual Summer Extravaganza bash. Featuring an all-star crew, Imagine Circus showcased elaborately costumed stilt walkers, acrobats, hoopers, jugglers, dual aerialists, and bubble sphere dancers. A beautiful evening began with poolside entertainment, cocktails and dinner, then continued inside with more Imagine Circus performances on the dance floor, paired with an amazing performance by Jessie’s Girls. This soiree sealed the summer days in style!

Thank you to Marcos Aspiazu Photography for capturing some of these cirque spectacular moments!

Pittsboro Summer Fest: “Small Town…Big Fun!”

On July 2nd, Imagine Circus paraded through the Town of Pittsboro, NC at their yearly Summer Fest, a family friendly street festival celebrating Independence Day. Our stilt walkers, adorned in red, white, and blue, waved flags as they marched through the crowds during the bicycle parade. Attendees enjoyed live music, along with some friendly competition including a corn hole tournament, a watermelon seed spitting challenge, and a pie throwing contest. Later in the day, guests were amazed by our aerial performers as they soared above suspended from our mobile aerial rig. The event included multiple bands, food trucks, and local artisan vendors.

Greensboro Summer Solstice: Fairies and Fire

On June 17, 2017 Imagine Circus stilt walking fairies fluttered around the 13th Annual Greensboro Summer Solstice, parading with characters from Paperhand Puppet Intervention and costumed festival patrons. Later in the evening, Imagine Circus presented a fire show sponsored by Corrupted Arts and MC’d by Madelyn Greco of LivingBrush. The fire show included artful prop manipulation, mesmerizing fire dancing, and fire acrobatics! The mission of Greensboro Summer Solstice is to create “an experience for festival-goers that blends local artisans, performers and budding entrepreneurs with a little bit of magic, opening up imaginations to the possibilities in each of us.” We were grateful to be a part!

NCMA Family Renaissance Festival

We loved spending our Sunday afternoon at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC for the Family Renaissance Festival on June 4th, 2017. In the beautiful sunshine Imagine Circus featured stilt walking and juggling across the serene surroundings of the museum park. We enjoyed performing alongside friends from One Tribe as they shared the rhythm of the drums and the power of music. The event offered various activities and attractions including mask making, live action renaissance combat demos, classic renaissance games, short plays, and tasty food trucks. This event happens every year and is great for the whole family!
