Last chance to see us in Des Moines at the Ren Faire at Sleepy Hollow! Come on out and see some piratey circus action!

The Knotty Bits Pirate Circus is what happens when Cap’n Sylver Fyre, First Mate Gwyd the Unusual and the crew of the Dread Ship Knotty Bits make landfall and test their piratical skills out on solid ground. Whether showing how to keep their balance on a swaying deck, fitting through a hole smaller than the barrel of a cannon, or the first mate dodging the Captains whip, it is all just leading up to a spectacular performance with the crew climbing into the rigging and sails of their landlocked ship! Prepare to be amazed as these stunning scallywags take to the skies to twist, twine and fling themselves from nearly 30 feet in the air- to stop mere inches from the ground. A fast-paced genuine, up close, too funny for words pirate circus...without the risk of scurvy!

We have discounted tickets available online only for $14! Join us:

Our second weekend of the first outdoor faire of the year for the Knotty Bits Pirate Circus show... Lowell, Michigan at the new faire, FaireVerse! Saturday, Sunday and Monday, three shows a day, rain or shine!
https://faireverse.com/

It's like if a Renaissance Faire and a Comic-con had a baby by mutually agreeing to adopt but then decided that they would have a talent contest to pick the right child.

Kind of like when pirates run off to join the circus. It all makes sense when you see it! Now is your chance!

First Weekend at FaireVerse. Come see us all next weekend and Memorial Day. Gates open at 10:00 am until 6:00 pm at the Kent County Youth Fair, 225 S Hudson St SE, Lowell, MI 49331
