About This District

Cat Circus

Rescue cats and kittens are doing absolutely nothing they’re told in a circus-inspired world built just for them. The beloved Cat Circus returns to Bumbershoot with adoptable furry friends from local shelters, surrounded by whimsical set design by Marcos Everstijn and painting by Jason Puccinelli. No tricks, no performances…just cats being cats, climbing things, ignoring people, and stealing hearts all weekend long.
