SUMMARY:Flotsam River Circus
DESCRIPTION:Come see Flotsam River Circus in Ottawa\, IL on Friday\, September 11th & Saturday\, September 12th! Free performances! \nFlotsam is a troupe of musicians\, circus artists\, and puppeteers who travel on a handmade raft\, giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way.\nWe’ll be performing at Fox River Park\, right near the Riverwalk Boat Ramp. Just look for the most unusual ‘boat’ on the water — that’s us! \nOur show is family-friendly\, but intended for audiences of all ages. The performance starts at 6:00 pm and will be finished before 7:30. Bring a blanket or lawn chair\, and come early for a good spot!\nAccessibility note: Most of the audience area is grassy and sloped\, but there is a paved path that may be better for wheelchairs.\nThe show is free to attend\, but we keep this project afloat through donations. We suggest $10–$25 per person. Cash is welcome\, or you can Venmo us at @rivercircus. We are a 501c3 non-profit\, and all donations are tax-deductible.\nParking in the area is somewhat limited\, so please consider carpooling\, biking\, kayaking\, or teleporting. If you are thinking about arriving by boat\, please note that our show is much better viewed from shore — and we ask that no boats position themselves behind us during the performance. \nWe hope to see you there — and please spread the word!\n***\nOttawa is just one stop on our 2026 Tour of the Illinois Waterway. Over the next month\, we’ll be traveling up the Illinois River\, performing in a bunch of towns\, all the way to Chicago! See our full schedule at:\nhttp://www.rivercircus.com
