FLOTSAM! River Circus - MORRIS
Advertisement
Come see Flotsam River Circus in Morris, IL on Sunday, September 13th!
Flotsam is a troupe of musicians, circus artists, and puppeteers who travel on a handmade raft, giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way.
We'll be performing at William G Stratton Park. We'll be along the river on the east side of the parking lot. Just look for the most unusual 'boat' on the water — that's us!
Our show is family-friendly, but intended for audiences of all ages. The performance starts at 6:00 pm and will be finished before 7:30. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for a good spot!
Accessibility note: Most of the audience area is grassy and sloped, but there is a small paved path by the parking area that may be better for wheelchairs.
The show is free to attend, but we keep this project afloat through donations. Cash is welcome, or you can Venmo us at @rivercircus. We are a 501c3 non-profit, and all donations are tax-deductible.
There is parking available at the park, but please consider carpooling, biking, kayaking, or teleporting. If you are thinking about arriving by boat, please note that our show is much better viewed from shore — and we ask that no boats position themselves behind us during the performance.
We hope to see you there — and please spread the word!
***
Morris is just one stop on our 2026 Tour of the Illinois Waterway. Over the next month, we'll be traveling up the Illinois River, performing in a bunch of towns, all the way from St. Louis to Chicago! See our full schedule at:

A HUGE thank you to the City of Morris for welcoming us - AND to the City of Morris Hotel/Motel Tax fund for helping make this possible!
