Circus Day Foundation is a social circus organization using circus arts to inspire individuals and connect communities. Saturday Feb. 26 they will present Circus Harmony: First Movement, a multigenerational show featuring almost 20 youth circus performers and over 20 multicultural musicians.

This creative confluence of music and circus arts features juggling, tumbling, unicycling, aerial and other acts accompanied by some of the best musicians that live in St. Louis including, Sandy Weltman and the Hebrew Hillbillies, Farshid Soltanshahi, St. Louis Osuwa Taiko drummers and others.

At 5:30, between the 3 and 8 PM shows, there will be a reception/auction with items ranging from a Bob Gibson autographed baseball to hotel giveaways to a framed oil painting by a Ringling Circus elephant. Proceeds from the auction go to benefit the Circus Day Foundation’s youth circus programs. Circus Day believes that one pathway to peace is to teach children from different backgrounds to stand on each other’s shoulders.
