Sailor Circus Logo

The Greatest "Little" Show on Earth 

   

Participants learn all aspects of the circus, including rigging, concessions, costume design, props, as well as performing acts in tumbling, unicycle, juggling, high wire, flying trapeze, clowning and much more.  They also gain valuable life lessons about teamwork, self-confidence, decision making, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Deep Roots & A Bright Future

The Sailor Circus has been part of the Sarasota community for more than 50 years.  In 2004, the program was on the verge of closing.  With the assistance of Sheriff William F. Balkwill, the Police Athletic League took over the Sailor Circus as one of its after school programs. 

PAL understands the importance of providing a legacy for future generations through performing arts and is committed to ensuring the future of the Sailor Circus.

PAL Sailor Circus is about kids

The kids are what it is all about.. but let us not forget the people who love them and care enough to make a difference in their lives. Our organization relies on over 150 volunteers, who donate more than 23,000 hours of their time each season. They spend their time creating, refurbishing and making costumes and props, selling concessions and tickets, rigging, ushering, coaching and more.
