Announcing the lineup for Dark Circus 2026 at @woolydowntown ! This gothic circus and alt clown theme night will sweep you away with stellar performances, dark dancey beats, fabulous vendors, and not one, but two flash mob clown parades to start and end the night!!
…AND it’s a benefit to help end homelessness in Gainesville. We’ll be selling art and handmade circus crafts as a fundraiser for @gracemarketplace as well as donating part of the ticket profits directly to them.
🤡 Jenny Castle @jilldumasrealtor makes her return to our stage with her one-of-a-kind clown comedy performance.
😮 You’ll ooHH and ahhh over @phylaxxis as they perform amazing sideshow acts that’d scare your mom.
🎉 Scribbles & Kit make their debut as a sexy clowny duo taking the stage for audience games and prizes. It’s going to get weird, sexy, and silly.
✨ Plus, your master of ceremonies, your leader of rings, and your clown commander will be @wild_creatrix.
💃The night will be bumping with dark, dancey tunes from DJs Baby Goth Back @dilldujour , @kerosenekitten , and @wild_creatrix
Our vendors area will feature custom circus nails, chainmail, leather, psychic readings, clowny fabric art, and more!

Stay tuned for spotlights of each vendor!
The opening and closing Flash Mob Clown parades are free, downtown, and will follow an accessible route, which will be shared closer to the event. We want young clowns, old clowns, happy clowns, and sad clowns to come out and join this impromptu parade. Bring your noisemakers, instruments, flags, and flow arts as we parade through downtown, passing out clown noses and pulling onlookers into our stampede of silliness!
Dark Circus is an invitation to play, be goofy, and clown around for your health and to support the community. It’s a volunteer-run event, where profits go to the talent, the venue, and the benefit organization. Gainesville Goths is a DIY collective. DM us to get involved.
