The 73rd Annual Circus

By Hannah Garcia May 19, 2026

On a near-perfect day in May, members of the BB&N community converged on the Lower School campus for the 73rd Circus. As one of the longest-running traditions at the school, the event drew students and parents of all ages, who enjoyed bounce houses, games, animals, food, and shows.

This year’s most popular event featured baby animals of all varieties, including chickens, kittens, bunnies, and more. Circus-goers got to play with their animal companion under the close supervision of parents and animal handlers. Near the Markham building, the stage hosted student shows and a magician, thrilling audience members. Finally, on the green, circus-goers participated in games, bounced in bounce houses, and, of course, dunked in the dunk tank.

Thank you to the Circus planning committee for another successful year of the beloved BB&N tradition.
