Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is a long-running American circus brand known for large-scale arena productions presented as a multi-act, family-oriented live entertainment event. The combined show traces its roots to the 1919 merger of the Ringling brothers’ circus with Barnum & Bailey, creating Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows. In the mid-20th century it shifted away from traveling under a portable big top and became primarily an arena-based production. After a long national touring run, the circus ended its original run with a final performance on May 21, 2017, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Feld Entertainment later announced a relaunch without animal performances, and the reimagined production returned to touring in 2023, booking multi-night engagements in major arenas—positioning the brand as an established draw for large-venue live events.
