After a five-year hiatus, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey’s “The Greatest Show on Earth” is making its return with a two-year North American tour. Providence will get its turn with the unbelievable family entertainment next year with six performances at the Amica Mutual Pavilion from April 26-28.

Back in 2017, the popular American traveling circus shut down after more than fifty years of operation due to declining ticket sales and the retirement of circus elephants. Now, a reimagined version with a diverse cast of seventy-five performers from eighteen countries, including Argentina, Canada, Cuba, Ethiopia, Italy, Mongolia, Spain, Ukraine, and the United States, is making a comeback.
The 360-degree arena will host thrilling acts such as the death-defying Triangular Highwire, dare deviling acrobatics on the Double Wheel of Destiny, and a Guinness World Record attempt by Wesley Williams on the One Wheel Wonder. Attendees will also enjoy never-before-seen stunts by BMX riders, skillful jugglers, a human rocket, aerialist, Boleadoras and Malambo dancers, musical performances, and more exciting acts in this modernized show.
