The event begins with a pre-show reception at 3:30pm, where attendees will learn circus skills, clown around with strolling performers, and enjoy refreshments, followed by a performance of The Grand Tour at 4:30pm. A post-show party concludes the day, with music and dessert in the ring with the artists. Tickets start at $50.

Proceeds from the Family Benefit support Big Apple Circus artistry in the ring and the nonprofit's exceptional community programs in hospitals, nursing homes, and schools, in NYC and across America. This year, The Grand Tour will reach more then 300,000 under the Big Top, and community programs will serve more than 250,000 pediatric patients, nursing home residents, and physically, cognitively, or economically challenged children, families, and seniors.
