Flynn Creek Circus

August 14 - 23, 2026

ScienceWorks Grounds

Every summer, ScienceWorks is proud to host Flynn Creek Circus on our grounds for a season of unforgettable performances and hands-on circus camps. Founded in 2002, Flynn Creek Circus is an acclaimed touring circus-theater company that combines breathtaking acrobatics, live storytelling, and theatrical artistry under their iconic red-and-white-striped Big Top.

This season Flynn Creek presents The Cricket & the Wren, a highly original, all-human fairy tale that enchants audiences with breathtaking acrobatics and stunning displays of athletic skill.

Books & Brews

Remember that feeling when the Book Fair came to town — the anticipation... the joy... the smelly erasers and bendy pencils just waiting to be purchased? This all-ages event brings the love of literacy, imagination, and nostalgia to life. Sip craft brews, browse books and comics, and relive the magic of book fairs past.

Interested in being a vendor? We're looking for booksellers, writers, and makers of brews of all kinds — beer, cider, mead, tea, coffee... you get the picture! Click here to fill out our vendor application.

Community Mural

Saturday, September 26

11 AM to 4 PM

During Books & Brews

Help us turn a ScienceWorks wall into a vibrant celebration of science, art, and nature! During our Books & Brews Nostalgic Book Fair, artist Ursula Barton will lead a one-of-a-kind community mural project. Grab a paint-filled balloon and throw it at the museum wall to create the colorful foundation for Ursula’s finished artwork. Inspired by the patterns of feathers, butterfly wings, scales, fish skin, and microscopic life, the mural will become a permanent work of public art.

Come make your mark on ScienceWorks!
