It all began in Kent, England, in 1974, when American entertainers and Big Apple Circus co-founders Paul Binder and Michael Christensen became juggling partners and took to the street corners of Europe.

It takes more than great ideas to make the Big Apple Circus work - it takes team work, devotion and very, very big hearts. Our team of experienced professionals makes the sky the limit.
