During the Circus's annual eight month, 115 city tour across the eastern United States, this "city that moves by night" travels an average of 10,000 miles and performs a minimum of two performances daily, seven days a week.

You may find the Big Top raised on the parking lot of your favorite shopping mall or presented in your community as a fund-raiser for a local civic group. The Circus is also often presented by media organizations, academic institutions, and major corporations for community causes or annual employee events. And on special occasions, the Circus has even provided its unique setting as a perfect stage for gala circus-themed black tie affairs for a variety of charities.

Regardless of where you attend a performance of Cole Bros. Circus, one thing is certain - that the show is still on the road and continues to delight a new generation of American children is proof that interest in the Circus Under the Big Top is as great as ever
