Coconino Center for the Arts
Live music and performances, refreshments will be served, and the first chance to see Northern Arizona's most crazy-creative exhibition of recycled art!
In our theatre: Live music by Jazz Leroux, and a full one-hour show by Circus Bacchus. Two showings, one at 6:30pm, and another at 7:45pm.
 Circus Bacchus is a home-grown Flagstaff performance troupe started in 2007 to bring out the awesome skills and talents in the community for a wild showcase of dance and revelry. Based completely on volunteer time, the performers practice their craft for the sheer love of doing it and also to bring an show to the town that was totally original and where people could come to cut loose, laugh, cry, dance and share the love with the rest of the community! The Bacchus Family Band is a group of talented multi-instrumentalists who love taking inspiration from all different kinds of sources, in order to create unique and varied sounds for a wide range of different acts.
Doing shows out of backyards originally, Circus has changed and grown enormously over the years to a troupe of more than 25 members, including a 9 piece band! Expect to see them in 2012 at the Coconino County Fair, Hulaballoo, Firefly, Pride in the Pines, The Holiday Lights Parade, every First Friday Electric Kingdom at the Green Rooms, and then everywhere in between!
Be amazed by jugglers! Hypnotized by the LED performers! Scintillated by burlesque dancers! Emasculated by Atlas the Mighty! Immolated by fire performers! Twitterpated by the Bacchus Family Band! Circus Bacchus guarantees to throw a wild party, and loves nothing more than when Flagstaff rises to the challenge. Find us on at CircusBacchus.org or become a fan on Facebook to find show schedule details, pics, stories and bios! Then come out and join us and we'll see how strong the Bacchus spirit of dance, wine and revelry lives in Flagstaff!
