This year the Big Apple Circus's new artistic director makes his mark with the theme Dance On! which leads to a fun, fast paced show. Jugglers, contortionists, lasso tricks, you name it, this show keeps moving with one surprise after another.
The Big Apple Circus comes to New York every Fall and is a Holiday tradition. This intimate, tented circus keeps you close to the action. We like to go to the circus on Christmas Eve. It's a magical way to spend the day.

About the Author
Founder of Mommy Poppins
A fourth-generation Brooklynite, Anna started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to help families find the best things to do with kids in NYC, with a particular emphasis on sharing activities that are free, affordable, and enriching. The site, used by millions of families, has grown to become the ultimate resource for parents in the major US cities, plus travel guides for 100s of destinations.
Anna is a believer in the magic of summer camps, traveling with kids, and that you can raise kids on a budget and still have a rich life full of amazing memories. Anna's first Mommy Poppins book, The Young Traveler's Journal and Activity Book, published in 2025 and co-written with her daughter, Amelia Eigerman, brings that ethos to life, in addition to this website.
