The annual entertainment event held in Kansas City, sponsored by the Shriners, offers family-friendly circus performances. These performances typically feature a variety of acts, including acrobats, animal performers, clowns, and other circus staples. The event serves as a fundraising activity for the Shriners organization.
This event provides vital support to the Shriners’ philanthropic efforts, particularly Shriners Hospitals for Children. Revenue generated directly benefits the hospitals, enabling them to provide specialized medical care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, regardless of the families’ ability to pay. The local chapter’s involvement ensures community engagement and sustained support for this important cause. The tradition extends back many years, establishing it as a staple in the local entertainment calendar.
