Circus Flora — The Big Top (Grand Center)
3401 Washington Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63103Circus Flora Pride Night 2026 brings an LGBTQ+ celebration under the big top in Grand Center on Friday, June 12, at 7 p.m., as St. Louis's beloved one-ring circus dedicates a performance of its 40th-anniversary production, Flying High, to Pride. It's one of the most charming and unexpected entries on the St. Louis Pride 2026 calendar — world-class aerialists, acrobats, and performers in an intimate tent where every seat is close to the action. Flying High marks four decades of Circus Flora's signature blend of theater and circus arts, with a story woven through breathtaking feats and live music. Pride Night surrounds that show with a festive, welcoming atmosphere that makes the whole evening feel like a community celebration. It's a genuinely all-ages option — great for families, a date night, or a group of friends who want something more magical than a bar — and a reminder that St. Louis's arts scene shows up for Pride in its own spectacular way. Circus Flora's big top stands at 3401 Washington Boulevard in Grand Center, the city's arts district, with nearby lots and easy access via MetroLink to the Grand station and a short walk south. The performance runs about 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets sell through MetroTix and Pride Night seats go quickly, so book in advance. Arrive early to grab concessions and settle into the tent before the lights drop. On a Pride 2026 weekend packed with parties, Circus Flora Pride Night is the one that leaves you looking up in wonder.
