Since our founding in 1939, Circus Historical Society conventions have been a principal activity of the Society. In fact, our incorporating documents provide that our conventions will provide a “forum to promote circus history and its impact on the artistic and cultural heritage of the world.” CHS conventions are usually held at locations that have some connection to circus history.

The dates and location of the 2025 Circus Historical Society will be posted here in the Fall of 2024.
