PLEASE NOTE: Each person wishing to purchase a ticket to the event must have their own account and be logged in. There is only one registration per account. (For example: If you are a parent buying a Youth non-member ticket for your child and a Chaperone ticket for yourself, please make separate accounts for each of you and buy the appropriate ticket while logged in as the correct person. This is how we keep track of who is registering for what!) Any questions about registration, membership, or trouble logging in should be directed to accounts@americanyouthcircus.org.

Waiver!

All festival attendees must fill out a waiver in order to participate. Please fill this out before coming to the festival!

Chaperones 

Youth under 8 years of age must arrive and remain with chaperone throughout the day. Youth 8+ who are not attending with a chaperone will be introduced to a volunteer chaperone at the beginning of the day who they can reach out to if they need anything during the course of the event. They will eat in a designated area with AYCO volunteer chaperones, and will be required to check out with their volunteer chaperone when they leave the space for the day.

The $25 chaperone admission includes access to the space, coffee, lunch, dinner, and admission to the evening Showcase. For safety’s sake, we ask chaperones to stay in the small lounge area during workshops.

Volunteers

If you are an adult interested in volunteering in exchange for a chaperone pass, please email laura@bindlestiff.org.
