My Circus Valentine: Sweet Sixteen

In its sixteenth year, My Circus Valentine returns with an intimate evening of contemporary circus. Through aerial performance, object manipulation, and live music, the show unfolds like a living photo album, bringing moments of tenderness, power, delight, and connection to life. A beloved annual tradition since 2010, this year’s show invites guests to linger in the sweetness of loving, dreaming, remembering, and being fully present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a bar? 🍺

Yes! Our bar is open for all show times and includes a variety of drink options for our 21+ guests, plus non-alcoholic beverages and concession snacks.

Are tickets available at the door? 🎟️

Typically, yes! Any shows that have not sold out online will offer tickets at the door. Even for shows that have sold out, you are still welcome to come and get on the wait list in case of no-shows (which are common). We accept cash & card. Please keep an eye on our Instagram stories for the most up to date information on door sales.

What time do doors open? ⏰

For our opening night show (Thurs Feb 12th), doors open one hour before the show at 6pm. Join us for our cocktail hour and enjoy $1 off all cocktails 6-7pm! For all other showtimes, doors open 45 minutes before showtime. Please arrive early to guarantee the best seats, grab concessions, and use the bathroom before the show starts.

How can I guarantee front row seats? 👀

Deluxe tables are the best seats in the house! A Deluxe table package includes entry for 4 people at a cocktail table right up front, with table service from our bar staff. We also offer a limited number of reserved front row seats, located at the front of the general admission seating section, behind the Deluxe Tables. Otherwise, plan to arrive early for the best General Admission seats.

Is this venue wheelchair accessible? ♿

Yes! There is an accessible parking spot on the north side of the building (outside the doctor’s office), and an accessible path into the building. If you or someone in your party uses a wheelchair or needs other mobility acommodations, we recommend emailing us at bellinghamcircusguild@gmail.com before the show to let us know. Our Front of House team will make sure there is a spot saved for you along the aisle.

Are there need-based discount tickets available? 💓

Each show will include a limited number of discounted general admission tickets, with the goal of making attending this show accessible to more of our community.
