An Awe-Inspiring Atmosphere

We welcome you to take a seat in the beautiful Big Top Tent provided by the famed Circus family - the Ramos Brothers.

We are excited to showcase props and set dressing from LA Circus, whose work dazzled audiences in the motion picture Water for Elephants, The Greatest Showman and more.

From the moment you arrive, let us transport you to a world of magic, delight and splendor.

Acclaimed Performers from Around the World

Some of the Bay Area’s most exciting circus talents will be joined by an international cast of superlative circus artists, with acts performed to original music written by Rob Reich and performed by a live 6-piece band! And in keeping with the renowned Pickle Family Circus tradition, no animals appear in our show.

One-of-a-kind Treats, Curated Just for the Show

Under the direction of Executive Chef Parke Ulrich, Treasure Island's Mersea Restaurant will be offering circus treats such as a one-of-a-kind Bella Braut, spiked hot chocolate, and candy, which you can enjoy during the show.

Located on Treasure Island with Unrivaled Views of the Bay

Outside the big top tent located in Treasure Island's great meadow, you'll enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, along with the famous San Francisco skyline.
