American
Circus Day is celebrated annually on April 3.
This holiday celebrates the anniversary of the first circus performance in the
U.S., which took place on April 3, 1793. Organized by British equestrian John
Bill Ricketts, the open-air arena packed hundreds of spectators who ate up the
performances, including President George Washington himself. Since its 18th
century beginning, the circus grew in leaps and bounds, with various showmen
bringing in innovations and acts. By the 19th century, American circuses were
touring Europe, and Queen Victoria herself was treated to showy performances.
