About Circus Spectacular 2026
Celebrate 16 Years of Wonder with The Circus Spectacular!
Join us for an extraordinary night of entertainment as world-class performers soar, spin, and dazzle, all in support of our mission to bring circus arts to everyone. This high-flying, awe-inspiring show has been our flagship fundraiser for 16 years, and every ticket sold fuels our affordable programs that empower young artists and build community through the joy of circus. Don’t miss this chance to experience the best talent from around the world while supporting NECCA's mission!
We are excited to announce that this year's Emcee is none other than the legendary Eric Micheal Gillett who graced the three rings of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as their starring Ringmaster from 1987-1998. He currently stars on stage and screen as an actor, singer and playwright, and in 2010, he conceived and directed New York's own Big Apple Circus' Dance On.
