Big Apple Circus

Big Apple Circus is an iconic non-profit arts institution devoted to presenting high quality circus arts from around the world in our intimate one-ring Big Top where no member of our audience is ever more than 50 feet from the ring. Celebrating our 35th season this year, Big Apple Circus is also very proud of our wide array of community programs that educate students, give accessibility to the disadvantaged, and lift the spirits of seniors in nursing facilities and children in hospitals. Our current annual operating budget is approximately $19M, with over 75% coming from earned income revenue and the remainder coming from contributed income.
