Hudson has the amazing good fortune to have its own resident circus, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, but on Labor Day, Monday, September 1, a different circus is coming to town: the Flotsam River Circus.
The Flotsam River Circus has performed in thirteen states and traveled more than 2,000 miles along the rivers of America since its creation in 2019. Its inaugural tour in 2019 was on the Willamette River in Oregon. In 2023, the circus traveled the upper Mississippi River, from Minneapolis to St. Louis. Last year, the troupe toured the Ohio River, from Pittsburgh to Paducah, Kentucky.
This year, the Flotsam River Circus is undertaking its Erie Canal and Hudson River Tour. The tour started in Buffalo on August 1 and will end in New York City on September 14. The entire schedule can be found here, but what is of most significance for us here in Hudson is that on September 1, Labor Day, at 6:30 p.m., the Fl0tsam River Circus will be performing at Henry Hudson Riverfront Park.
