# Event Details

- **Event Name**: FLOTSAM! River Circus - MEREDOSIA
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Come see Flotsam River Circus in Meredosia, IL on Saturday, August 29th!  

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 the Meredosia Riverfront, near the Mile 66 Boat Club. 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!  

NOTE: In Meredosia, the river is directly to the west of town, so the audience will be looking at the sun. We'll hope for some cloud cover, but please consider bringing sunglasses. Also, the riverfront is an uneven, sloped area, but there is a paved area at the top that is accessible 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 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!

Meredosia 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:
