As always, Bravo!

I have had the opportunity to work with Salida Circus on many occasions and they always do a great job for us. Super talented staff that show up on-time or early, are completely self sufficient, and provide everything they need on site so that I can focus on the rest of my event. I said 5 stars but if I could give 10 I would. Hire them, you won't be disappointed!

LOVED IT!

Such a joy having Salida on site during our roaming arts festival. She was great with kids and adults alike, watching the kids eyes light up at the stilt walker was a highlight from the event. Thank you and you will definitely be apart of our annual event!

A great success for any event

We booked Salida Circus for an annual community/client appreciation party and we are absolutely thrilled that we did! Jennifer was very responsive, professional and accommodating throughout the process. Salida arrived promptly at our event and were wonderful with our guests. When a balloon vendor did not show, they stepped up and filled in, even when it wasn't a part of the contract. Salida Circus truly went above and beyond to ensure our guests had a memorable experience.

It was a great pleasure to work with Salida Circus. Without a doubt, we would invite them back again in a heartbeat. Thank you very much Jennifer & Co. for making our event a great success. We hope you'll join us again next fall!

Great draw for any crowd!

Salida Art Walk is an annual arts celebrations of the Arkansas River Valley in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Each year we hire Salida Circus to entertain the thousands of visitors from around the world to this three day festival. The circus' performers are not only talented in their discipline but are personable to the questioning and mesmerized crowds. They are alway willing to educate and go that extra mile to make our visitors happy. Thanks Salida Circus!

"The Salida Circus might be a small crew, but they’re big on fun! I am pleased to say we chose the Salida Circus to kick-off the City of Thornton’s 2014 Funtaztikidz Program as their energy, antics, and professionalism are indicative of the kind of entertainment we seek to offer. A total of 136 children and their caretakers attended the Lost Circus performance, which the Salida Circus crew handled effortlessly."
