If you are a Bethelite, then you are well aware that showman PT Barnum also once called Bethel his home. And if you’re like me, you've pointed out the historic house on Greenwood Avenue as his birthplace to visiting friends and family. While Bethel celebrated Barnum’s 200th birthday last year with a circus-themed party (complete with a 575-pound birthday cake as well as with a brand new statue of him on the Bethel Public Library lawn), there is now another opportunity to celebrate with The Biggest Birthday Bash in Circus History coming to Bridgeport’s Webster Bank Arena later this month!
The Greatest Show On Earth just got Greater with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents BARNUM 200SM. Featuring 130 performers from six continents, almost 100,000 pounds of performing pachyderms, cowboys, pirates, and mermaids, BARNUM 200 is a super-sized spectacle so massive you just can’t miss it!
Ringmaster Jonathan Lee Iverson invites the audience to leap aboard the Ringling Bros. train and go on a family FUNtastic adventure to meet exotic characters and witness thrilling performances that attempt to answer “What special wonders create The Greatest Show On Earth?”
Arrive an hour before all show times, except for the Friday 11 a.m. performance, for the All Access Pre-show – FREE to all ticket holders, and meet performers and animals, learn circus skills and enjoy a taste of the performance before the show even starts! There will be an educational presentation for students and teachers beginning at 10:30 a.m. ahead of the Friday 11 a.m. show.
