Perennial favorite The Midnight Circus has returned to "Franken Plaza" for this year's Chicagoween (note to the Mayor's Office of Special Events: easy on those ham-handed amalgamations, guys). The contemporary high-flying act features juggling, a German wheel, aerial silk, and more. The Midnight Circus has gone "eco-friendly" and brought all of their gear to Daley Plaza via bicycle -- which might explain the smaller set pieces than in previous years. Performances will take place at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. through Halloween (with additional shows at 2:00 p.m. on 10/30 and 10/31), perfect for a lunch hour change of pace for you downtown office dwellers.




Al Franken Plaza?
Wild.
The nighttime fire twirling shows were pretty good last Thursday. Bad cellphone pic: http://twitpic.com/igwd
I miss the original haunted house. Now its more like a haunted CHA low rise building.
And why don't they sale beer like at Christmas? Any way the women preformers are tres hauwt! But its kinda intimidating to even think about hitting on a circus preformer.
