tripadvisorThis is quite the unique venue to watch and enjoy your favorite artists! Classic church pew seating (or bring your own), tents with casual seating, food, beer tent all nestled in the Bayfield countryside! Tickets are pricey but it's such a unique stop! We enjoyed seeing the High Kings!
MoreThis was very odd and fun. We took the shuttle from town, and were dropped off at the gate. They have a refreshment tent that's open before the show and during intermission. The show was fantastic also. The seating is old church pews, so that's a bit strange.
MoreBeautiful location in northern WI. Outdoor setting with tents with food and beverages. Sound in the tent and ventilation good. Free parking. Great experience
MoreWe had read about this place for years but never had the opportunity to attend a show. We finally planned a visit to see the Blue Canvas Orchestra, Big Top Chautauqua’s “house band.” It was a great way to see what it was all about with reasonable ticket prices. Volunteers run everything from gate admission, ushers, and concession workers. Everyone was so friendly and the show was fantastic! We will definitely plan another trip to Big Top Chautauqua!
MoreWow….this place is amazing! I’m very glad a friend told me about Big Top when I shared that I was traveling to Bayfield for vacation. Saw the Indigo Girls. Amazing concert at an amazing venue. Super easy to get to location, near Bayfield. Showed up to easy parking. Scanning of tickets on the mobile phone was quick. There’s great food and drinks that you can purchase once you arrive. The concert under the tent was spectacular. Everyone attending the show and working at the show was very friendly. You need to experience this at least once!!
