“Incredible Talent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2012

Do not miss a show with local talent. "Riding the Wind" ws one of the best performances I've seen in my long, long life. check them out online for show times and tickets. It's well worth an evening of good old fashion entertainment under The Big Top! More

“Good music, good times”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2012

Outdoor but under the tent show. Some theater - local history - but primarily recognized music talent from outside the area. (Some local greats from the area also - the area has a lot of talent). Great way to feel part of the community and enjoy the show. More

“Great variety of top-notch entertainment in a unique setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

On consecutive nights we saw "Kansas" and Ruthie Foster (a phenomenal blues singer) --two excellent concerts that are representative of a great lineup of entertainment in this 25th anniversary season of Big Top. If you're in the Bayfield area during the summer, you should definitely check their schedule. Fun ambiance, limited menu of food and beverages available before/during the show.... More
