Thank you to our Volunteers!

As we start to prepare for our 2020 tour we want to give a special shout out to the unsung heroes of Midnight Circus in the Parks…the Volunteers!

We would not be able to do our ‘Circus in the Parks’ tour without the volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes long before the tent even goes up. These wonderful folks from communities all across Chicago donate their time and talents (even in the rain…:) to make sure everyone who visits Midnight Circus has an unforgettable experience.

If you have ever popped hundreds of bags of popcorn, checked families in at will call, helped people find their seats, handed out concession tickets, helped us clean the tent, or simply smiled and said hello, Thank You! Midnight Circus would not be able to put on our shows or raise funds for Chicago Parks without you. 

One of the main missions of Midnight Circus is to help build strong, engaged communities by partnering with Park Advisory Councils across our city. If you are interested in ‘joining the circus’ by volunteering for Midnight Circus with your local Park Advisory Council…we would love to have you.  You can find more information about your local PAC here!

Midnight Circus will announce which parks will host our 2020 tour in May, but in the meantime check out other volunteer opportunities at your local park. 

We look forward to seeing soon, in your park and under the Big Top!
