Culpepper & Merriweather Circus Coming to Town

The excitement is building as Washington prepares to welcome a truly spectacular event this August—the circus is coming to town! This is more than just a show; it’s an opportunity to bring families, friends, neighbors, and visitors together for a memorable experience filled with wonder, laughter, and excitement. From breathtaking performances to unforgettable family memories, the circus promises to be one of the most anticipated events of the summer. We are incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to host a circus in Washington. Events of this size and caliber don’t happen every day in rural Iowa, and we are honored to bring this unique experience to our community. Not only will the circus provide entertainment for local families, but it will also draw visitors from surrounding counties and across the state, showcasing Washington as a vibrant destination for events and community engagement. We encourage everyone to share the excitement with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Let’s make sure communities throughout Southeast Iowa know that Washington is the place to be this August! The more people we reach, the greater the impact this event will have on our local businesses, restaurants, attractions, and community organizations. August 26, 2026 5:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Shows
