🌙 The Night Circus | New Year’s Shadow
The Black & White Circus of Dreams
December 31st | The Clubhouse on South Temple
21+ | Doors at 7 PM | Show at 7:30 PM
Beneath the quiet hush of winter’s final night, a dream returns to Salt Lake City—
A circus not bound by time or tradition, arriving without fanfare and vanishing before dawn.
✨ Welcome to The Night Circus. ✨
An immersive celebration of mystery, connection, and the hidden magic that lives between the end and the beginning.
Inspired by Erin Morgenstern’s beloved novel, The Night Circus, this enchanted evening invites you into a living dream—where the veil between years thins and possibilities unfold like petals at midnight.
As the clock ticks toward the turning of the year, Dreamers are called to gather under the canopy of stars and striped tents. Whether you arrive in solitude or in the company of kindred spirits, you’ll find yourself drawn into a world of imagination, artistry, and wonder.
✨ A Night of Reflection & Renewal
At the center of the circus stands The Grand Tent, where magical duos conjure stories of duality, transformation, and the bittersweet beauty of endings and beginnings.
🎭 Featuring performances by returning favorites and new wonders:
The Star-Crossed Lovers — Alec Bang & Pistol Paisley
The Circus’s Future — The Jennings Twins
The Oracle & the Flame — Liquid Gold as Tsukiko
The Burgess Sisters — Arielle & Natalie Miller in movement
The Enchanter — Brad Williams as Prospero
The Chess Player - Gerry Fralick as the man in the gray suit
…and more artists, dancers, and illusionists to be revealed.
🎶 Music That Moves Between Worlds
Let the soundscape guide you across thresholds:
Lior Ross-Levy — Primal energy & celebration
Redfoot — Rhythms of release
Pfuzz (Panda Bear) — Midnight pulses and echoing futures
Alec Bang & The Cult Classics — Fire for the soul
🎪 Nine Tents of Enchantment Return
Surrounding the Grand Tent, you’ll uncover nine unique spaces—each crafted by artists and creators to awaken memory, desire, and imagination.

As the final minutes of the year slip away, we gather not just to celebrate but to witness—the passing of time, the power of dreams, and the spark of connection that outlives even the longest night.
🖤 This New Year’s Eve, don’t just count down the seconds.
Step into the in-between and write your own beginning.
🎩 Dress Code & Atmosphere
The Circus is always in black and white.
Dreamers, performers, and strangers alike are drawn into its monochrome mystery—
but some, just a few, wear a single touch of red…
We invite you to dress in one of the following styles to enhance your immersion and contribution to the dream:
🖤 Black & White Elegance – Think timeless, refined, vintage, or avant-garde. Velvet, lace, tuxedos, corsets, or cloaks…whatever makes you feel like a character from a world just outside our own.
🎪 Circus-Inspired Monochrome – Dress as if you are one of the enchanted. Mimes, fortune tellers, fire-breathers, illusionists—so long as you remain within black and white, you are part of the show.
❤️ A Hint of Red – A scarf. A rose. A ribbon in your hair. This is the mark of a Dreamer—one who follows the circus, who believes in its magic, and who helps bring it to life.
Your attire is your ticket deeper into the illusion.
Dress with intention. Dream with abandon.
