# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FLOTSAM! River Circus - HENNEPIN
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Come see Flotsam River Circus in Hennepin, IL on Thursday, September 10th!

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 Riverfront Park, just below the Hennepin Food Mart on Front Street. Just 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 6:00 pm and will be finished before 7:30. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for a good spot! 

Accessibility note: The area where we will perform is grassy and sloped. There is a flatter area close to the parking that may be better for wheelchairs.  

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 thinking about 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!

Hennepin 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:
