The greatest show on earth is coming to Baltimore! Beginning March 30th and running through April 10th, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus presents Barnum 200, an event two hundred years in the making celebrating P.T. Barnum, the founder of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Performers and characters from all over the world will be in this show from the first moment you step into the arena to the moment you leave. See performers disregard gravity in death-defying motorcycle tricks in the 16-foot Spherical Miracle. Gape at the Masters of Musculature, a boggling world of the distortion and contortion of the human body. Watch high-wire artists do acrobats 40 feet in the air at 45-degree angles.
Each act is full of thrills and heart-pounding excitement, and they will deliver a performance beyond anything you could imagine even in your wildest dreams.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was started in 1919 when the Ringling brothers purchased the Barnum & Bailey Circus and merged the two circuses together. The circus currently has two circus train-based shows; each tour presents a different version of the show.
