Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents The Greatest Show On Earth
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth," is an American traveling circus with roots dating to 1871. It was formed in 1919 when Barnum & Bailey's circus, created by P. T. Barnum and James Anthony Bailey, merged with the Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows, a circus five Ringling brothers had founded in Baraboo, Wisconsin, in 1884.

About Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents The Greatest Show On Earth
The circus ended operations in 2017 amid declining attendance and animal-welfare concerns, having already phased out its animal acts. It returned in 2023 with a reimagined production built around acrobatics, music, and dance rather than performing animals.
