    Local Tallahassee Performances

    The FSU Flying High Circus is a non-profit organization that generates our own revenue and therefore is unable to accommodate the numerous requests we receive to donate performers and performances. We do offer two different performer/performance options for local residents and organizations in Tallahassee.

    1. We can send a group of our Circus performers to your event in costume to perform various "walk around" acts. This option may include jugglers, stilt walkers, balancers, etc. based on the availability of the student performers. Cost $250
    2. We can send 3-4 "showcase" acts to provide an approximately 15 minute "mini" performance. This option will include sound and a Ring Master. Cost $500

    If you would like more information please contact us at circus@admin.fsu.edu.
