Fern Street Circus was recently featured on Drew Schlosberg’s Spotlight on the Community podcast in an episode titled “Seeds of Joy: Fern Street Circus, Social Circus, and Community Connection.”
In the conversation, we talk about the heart of Fern Street Circus, our work in social circus, and the ways circus can bring people together through joy, creativity, and shared experience. The episode also highlights our 2026 neighborhood tour, Seeds of Joy, and the larger philosophy behind bringing free, accessible circus performances and education into communities across San Diego.
At Fern Street Circus, we believe circus is more than entertainment. It is a way to build trust, celebrate difference, create belonging, and remind people that joy can be a powerful form of care. This interview offers a closer look at why we do this work, how it continues to grow, and what makes community-based circus so meaningful.
