​
Ride away with the Circus!
Green Kids Inc. is proud to present
Bike and Circuses
We invite you to ride, walk or roll your way through a circus of wonders. Join us June 8-12 at Whittier Park for an outdoor family-friendly event that celebrates our connection to the Earth.
Featuring a cast of 16 performers, this show takes audiences on a journey through nature where they will encounter acrobats, dancers, musicians, puppets, poetry, magic and more!
​
Before and after the show audiences are invited to enjoy our interactive lobby, featuring family activities, a bike & pedestrian safety station, a compost booth and more!
​
We are proud to declare that Bike and Circuses is a 100% carbon neutral event! This means that we are choosing eco-friendly materials and transportation while crafting the show. Almost all set, costumes and props will be discarded or second-hand items, and our travel will be by foot, bike or transit as much as possible. We will also do a comprehensive waste audit, while offsetting our minimal vehicle travel (audience, performers, vendors and volunteers) and purchases. No other theatre event in Winnipeg has ever done this!
