The Circus Arts are one of the focuses of this year's festival. The Smithsonian Folklife Festival will bring the rich history, mystique and diversity of circus arts to life on the National Mall. But visitors will see more than just a performancemeet coaches, costume designers, makeup artists, musicians, lighting and sound technicians, poster artists, wagon builders, cooks, and many others whose collective creative work brings the circus to life.
