Amesbury City Hall Market & City Hall Circus

Millyard Market Collective will be providing a circus "midway" featuring local artisans, food vendors, bakers, and makers!

Theater in the Open shared with you their big-top dream – turning Amesbury's City Hall Auditorium into an all-day circus! Big top dreams have a large-scale impact: City Hall Circus will celebrate local artists, showcase internationally-renowned artists right here in our home town, and partner with municipal and corporate partners.

City Hall Circus is a big deal for Theater in the Open, and we're thrilled to be working with some amazing partners to bring it to life. They are excited to partner with the Amesbury Recreation Department and the Mayor's Office in order to access Amesbury City Hall.

The Center in Amesbury is working with young community members, building a Cardboard Petting Zoo and a circus workshop that will highlight local young performers in the live circus. Many thanks to the ECCF for supporting this project with a partnership grant! Theater in the open envisions that this is an opportunity to visit a civic space for a reason other than to pay a parking ticket or water bill, purchase a permit, or register to vote. Perhaps if we come together in our civic spaces for joyful and exciting events like this, we can all feel more comfortable engaging in our community development and governance, including voting and more.
