Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus

The Ringling Bros. return to Tampa with "The Greatest Show on Earth" for a three-day run. The reimagined circus will feature a storyline, stunts, and chest-grasping acts, minus the live animals and clowns.

Feld Entertainment is bringing back the "Greatest Show on Earth," to showcase the talents of people from around the world. This time, there will be no animal acts.

The circus will launch a U.S. tour of live shows in September 2023.

The circus shut down in May 2017 after a 146-year run.
