The delightful Circus Bella will pitch a big top circus tent in the heart of Downtown San Francisco this winter. From Dec. 15-31, 2023, audiences will enjoy a thrilling holiday rendition of Circus Bella’s one-ring show Kaleidoscope, performed by a talented 12-person troupe and accompanied by a live 6-piece band.
Enjoy an enchanting afternoon of slapstick antics, feats of balance and strength, unbelievable acrobatics, complex juggling, mind-boggling contortion and so much more. Each and every performer astounds with their own unique specialty, ranging from Chinese Pole to Aerial Hoop. SF musician Rob Reich and the Circus Bella All-Star Band will perform a dazzling music score to accompany the best circus talent in the Bay Area. The performances are especially popular for kids and families.
It all takes place within a 68-foot big top circus tent where guests are seated in the round for unparalleled views of the performers. The circular tent is a work of art in itself, having been handcrafted in Italy by a long-running family business called Fratelli Grego. With its location at East Cut Crossing, guests aren’t far from the Christmas and holiday festivities at Union Square — perfect to complete your holiday outing in SF.
Kaleidoscope: A Winter Holiday Show Spectacular will have a limited run of 31 performances during the second half of December, with between one and three shows per day except for Dec. 18, 24, and 25. Guests can enjoy special New Year’s Eve shows on Dec. 31, where all audience members will receive complimentary party hats and streamers for a lively experience to end 2023 on a high note. Tickets range in price from $55-75 per person.
Abigail Munn and David Hunt founded Circus Bella in 2008 as a traveling one-ring circus in the Bay Area. You might know Circus Bella from its free pop-up summer performances, which have dazzled over 115,000 audience members over the last 14 years.
