# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FLOTSAM! River Circus - BEARDSTOWN
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Come see Flotsam River Circus in Beardstown, IL on Sunday, August 30th!  

Flotsam is a troupe of musicians, circus artists, and puppeteers who travel on a handmade raft, giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way.

We'll be performing at Continental, the city property along the river, in front of the Cargill grain elevator (814 W Main St.) Look for the most unusual 'boat' on the water — that's us!  

Our show is family-friendly, but intended for audiences of all ages. The performance starts at 6:30 pm and will be finished before 8:00. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for a good spot!  

Accessibility note: the riverfront here is sloped and somewhat rocky. People with wheelchairs or limited mobility might consider coming to see us in another town. 

The show is free to attend, but we keep this project afloat through donations. We suggest $10–$25 per person. Cash is welcome, or you can Venmo us at @rivercircus.  We are a 501c3 non-profit, and all donations are tax-deductible.  

Parking in the area is somewhat limited, so please consider carpooling, biking, kayaking, or teleporting. If you are considering arriving by boat, please note that our show is much better viewed from shore — and we ask that no boats position themselves behind us during the performance.

We hope to see you there — and please spread the word!

Beardstown is just one stop on our 2026 Tour of the Illinois Waterway. Over the next month, we'll be traveling up the Illinois River, performing in a bunch of towns, all the way to Chicago! See our full schedule at:
