Cirque Noir

The Story

Years ago, a traveling circus arrived at Sugar Ridge.

For a few nights, the farm came alive beneath the glow of the big top. Music carried across the fields. Performers filled the midway. Crowds came to see the spectacle.

Then the final show ended.

The crowds went home. The circus didn’t.

The tents remained. So did the performers. As the years passed, the laughter from inside became stranger, the music more distorted, and the show became something very different from the one that first arrived.

Maybe they couldn’t leave. Maybe they never intended to.

Now the lights of Cirque Noir are burning again, and the performers are looking for a new audience.

Step inside Circus Noir

Carnival of Screams: Cirque Noir is Scream Ridge’s high-energy haunted funhouse, where the chaos of the circus meets an experience designed to keep you off balance.

Make your way through a twisted world of clowns, carnival chaos, illusions and disorienting environments as the performers of Cirque Noir draw you deeper into their show.

Inside Cirque Noir, movement, light, sound and physical effects work together to confuse your senses and keep you guessing which way is up. Nothing stays quite where you expect it, and the deeper you go, the stranger the show becomes.

The deeper you go, the stranger the show becomes.

You bought a ticket to get in. Nobody promised you a way out.
