North Star is thrilled to announce we are bringing back Circus Smirkus to the Three County Fairgrounds in Northampton July 8-9, 2023! Our favorite days of the summer are returning!

If you have ever seen Circus Smirkus, you are already excited! If you have not seen Circus Smirkus, you might save these dates right now. There will be four shows, two each day.

Making this event happen involves more work than you may realize, and there are ways you can help! Please reply below or email info@northstarteens.org if you would like to join us.

1. Plan to attend the shows! We need to sell out the four shows to make this event worthwhile. (Tickets are not on sale yet, and will be available through www.circussmirkus.org)

2. Recruit a business sponsor or encourage a business to advertise in the program. All of these funds go to support North Star, and it is through sponsors and advertisers that we make this event a major source of revenue for our annual budget. This outreach starts right now!

3. Host Circus Smirkus performers in your home. We need up to fifteen hosts for two or more youth performers. Hosting involves providing a bed, meals, and rides to these fascinating Smirkos. Hosting has been a real highlight in the past, but we know that the pandemic may create some new openings. Contact us now if you are interested.

4. Volunteer at a show! We need up to 20 volunteers per show: parking, tickets, ushers, floaters…and every volunteer gets a memorable t-shirt! We’ll start taking names now.

5. Share this news! Tell everyone you know! Circus Smirkus is coming to Northampton July 8-9, 2023!
