Step inside the red-and-white tent as FL!P Circus returns to New York City with an all-new 2025 production—two hours of daring artistry, live music, and shared wonder across the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn.

There is something timeless about the circus—the glow of lights, the hum of music, the sound of laughter echoing beneath the big top. This autumn, that nostalgia returns with quiet brilliance as FL!P Circus brings its 2025 national tour to New York City. Created by the Vazquez family, this intimate big-top experience has long captivated audiences across the country with its balance of daring acts, humor, and heart.

The 2025 edition introduces an all-new cast of international talent, inviting guests into two hours of movement, color, and imagination—a production where heritage meets new artistry. Whether you have followed FL!P Circus in past years or are stepping inside the tent for the first time, this season’s show captures the thrill of discovery while honoring the enduring magic that makes the circus unforgettable.

FL!P Circus: A Big Top Experience with Heart

Beneath FL!P Circus’s distinctive red-and-white tent, guests are welcomed into a world that feels momentarily suspended in time. With only 800 seats—none more than 50 feet from the ring—each performance unfolds in close connection, every gasp and cheer shared across the crowd. The tent, climate-controlled and softly lit, invites comfort in every season. While the glow of the lights, the hum of conversation, and the swell of live music transport you deep into the story unfolding at center stage.

The magic lives in the details—the scent of popcorn laced with caramelized peanuts, the gentle buzz of anticipation just before the first act begins. Between performances, a generous concession stand serves classic favorites—cotton candy, hot dogs, pretzels, and more—creating an evening that feels both nostalgic and new, one that welcomes every generation under the same canopy of wonder.

Ringmaster Jan Vazquez Unveils a Symphony of Talent

At the heart of every FL!P Circus performance is Ringmaster Jan Vazquez, whose magnetic presence sets the night’s rhythm. Joined by his sister, Carolina Vazquez—a fourth-generation performer—he commands attention through more than words. Their breathtaking rolla bolla act seems to bend the laws of balance and gravity, a daring dialogue between poise and motion.

This year’s show unfolds as an entirely new chapter, uniting an exceptional lineup of international artists:

• Bravuuri Troupe [Finland] – A thrilling blend of skating, bicycle acrobatics, and human pyramids—an exhilarating study in coordination, timing, and trust.
• Luva Vazquez [Mexico] – A hypnotic bounce-juggler whose fluid precision turns rhythm into visual music.
• Duo Fossett [Hungary] – Masters of the aerial pole, balancing power and grace in a performance that feels sculpted mid-air.
• Daniel Amera [Ethiopia] – A portrait of strength and flexibility, performing feats that test the limits of human form.
• Khrystyna [Ukraine] – A breathtaking display of elegance and focus as she crosses the slack wire with quiet, measured grace.

Every act moves to the pulse of the FL!P Circus Band, whose live soundtrack ties each moment together—swelling with suspense, softening in wonder, and carrying the audience through two hours of pure spectacle.

FL!P Circus: Three Boroughs, One Magical Tour

Wherever you go, the spirit of FL!P unfolds against New York’s ever-changing backdrop, turning each night beneath the tent into a story worth remembering.

The return of FL!P Circus feels especially resonant in a city that thrives on performance and reinvention. From Broadway’s grand stages to the small creative corners of every borough, New York has always been a place that celebrates artistry in motion. The circus brings that spirit back to its roots—live, unfiltered, and beautifully human. It reminds us that even in a metropolis defined by constant change, the simple act of gathering under a tent to be astonished remains one of the most timeless experiences of all.

FL!P Circus: What to Expect

FL!P Circus is designed so every seat feels close to the action—no moment too distant, no detail missed.

Next, you are smiling, caught in the pure joy of live performance.

Yet beyond the acrobatics and artistry, it is the spirit of the Vazquez family that gives FL!P its soul. For generations, they have carried forward the essence of the great American circus while weaving in contemporary movement, humor, and heart. The result is a production that feels both timeless and new—a celebration of courage, connection, and the quiet magic of wonder shared.
