Rain Date: Saturday, July 12th
Prepare to be amazed as Green-Wood's annual spectacular roars back to life under the summer stars! This sellout event transports you to the dazzling world of nineteenth-century entertainment, where the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus unleashes jaw-dropping talents: fire-eaters, musicians, contortionists, dancers, and so much more!
It all unfolds against the backdrop of Crescent Water, bringing to life the legacy of Green-Wood's famous residents Martha and William Niblo. In the 1830s, their pleasure garden was the entertainment destination that captivated New York City. Before the main event, join author and Niblo biographer Benjamin Feldman for a rare, intimate look inside the Niblo mausoleum—a privilege few have experienced!
