About the Theme
Stuffed animal prizes the size of a 5-year-old, delicious smells floating around every corner and extraordinary feats being performed in front of your very eyes are all part of circus party magic. And don’t be fooled into thinking this is only fit for a kids’ gathering—a circus party is just as much fun for adults.

Entertainment
Carnival Game Rental
Carnival games are a no-brainer with this theme, but the time it takes to get creative with finding materials, and setting up and breaking down before and after the party will take more time than you think. Leave this portion of the evening to the professionals.
Entertainment
Circus Act
Pull your event together with a professional circus act. Most performers have a range of talents, like juggling, unicycling, balloon twisting or magic tricks.
Food
Food Tent
Create a couple different stations in one area for a food court of sorts. Have one snack option (popcorn, french fries or pretzels), one main (corn dogs, pizza or chicken fingers) and one dessert (funnel cake, caramel apples or snow cones).
Beverage
Craft Beer
Pick a few local craft brews to serve. This may be a theme reminiscent of childhood fun, but you have an adult palette now.
