Barnum 200″ is billed as “The Biggest Birthday Bash in Circus History.” Ringmaster Jonathan Lee Iverson invites the audience to leap aboard the Ringling Bros. train and go on a family FUNtastic adventure to meet exotic characters and witness thrilling performances.

The Flying Caceres will attempt to complete the elusive quadruple somersault on the flying trapeze: a feat that hasn’t been mastered in more than three decades. The Puyang troupe from China will dazzle with a stunning display of dexterity as they bounce, flip, and twirl to new heights on a two-tiered trampoline. Through impossible contortions, body benders will fit three humans in a cube the size of a milk crate. The Mighty Meetal, the strongest man in the world, will lift more than 1,200 pounds. Among the hand balancers will be Duo Fusion, a married pair of performers with a twist – the wife does the heavy lifting.

***Patrons can arrive an hour before show time for the All Access Pre-show – free to all ticket holders – where they can meet performers and animals, learn circus skills and enjoy a taste of the performance before the show even starts***

UK Football Fan Day

Saturday, August 6th
Gates open at 5
Practice from 6 - 8
Player autographs, fun on the field at 8
Fireworks at 9:30


The annual Kentucky Football Fan Day has been slated for Saturday, Aug. 6 at Commonwealth Stadium, as the Kentucky football team will hold an open practice along with an autograph session and fireworks show.

Gates for the event will open at 5 p.m. ET with the open practice, which will consist of offensive, defensive and special team drills, beginning at 6 p.m. ET. Parking will be available in the green, red or blue lots surrounding Commonwealth Stadium.

“We changed the format of the event last year and I think the fans really liked it,” Phillips said. “I think it is important for the fans to see what we do on a daily basis and understand how hard our players work on the practice field. Fan Day is a great chance for our fans to meet our players and our staff and it is something we enjoy doing.”

The open practice will run until 8 p.m. ET and be followed by an introduction of the players and an autograph session. Players and coaches will sign autographs before a fireworks show closes the event. The fireworks are scheduled to take place at approximately 9:30 p.m. ET.

Because of the construction of the new state-of-the-art video boards, ribbon boards, and sound system, a temporary sound system will be used for this year’s Fan Day event and video boards will not be available.
