A group of performers aboard a shanty-boat singing.

FLOTSAM! is a troupe of musicians, circus artists, and puppeteers traveling on a handmade raft, giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way.

Nightly Performances from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Location: Brown Forman Amphitheater Docks

Just look for the most unusual ‘boat’ along the river – that’s us! Our show is kid-friendly but meant for ALL ages. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and come early for a good spot!

The show is free to attend, but audience donations are how we keep this crazy project afloat. If you can afford it, we suggest a donation of $20 or more. You can bring cash, or send donations by Venmo to ‘rivercircus’.

Parking is limited – so if possible, please try to carpool, bus, bike, kayak, or teleport. For people considering coming by boat, please note that our show is made to be viewed from the shore – and we’d prefer if other boats aren’t out behind us during the performance.

Louisville is just one stop on our 2024 Ohio River Tour. We’ll be traveling nearly a thousand river miles across six states and giving 38 performances in towns from Pittsburgh to Paducah!
