We are elated to announce at last the Grand Opening of Portland's new circus arts center, The Hippodrome. Helmed by Mike Wolfson, Noah Mickens, and Nick the Creature; The Hippodrome will serve as both a venue for parties and performances and a gathering place for the practice and instruction of the circus arts. With the help of master riggers and technicians from Cirque du Soleil and Circus Gatti; we are even now converting the room that was once Loveland, Meow Meow, B Complex, and Euphoria into a top-notch circus facility the likes of which Portland has never seen.
