Big Top Chautauqua is a "must see" for tours groups traveling in northern Wisconsin. Our 70+ summer season (mid-June thru early-September) consists of our own critically acclaimed Chautauqua Original Musicals and national and international touring acts like Willie Nelson, The Smothers Brothers, Roy Clark and Garrison Keillor. 2005 summer shows run nightly Wednesday-Sunday.

Whatever the show, your host, Big Top co-founder and Artistic Director Warren Nelson offers you his famous money-back guarantee; "You come and see our show and if you don't like it... try and get your money back!" In all seriousness, you can not find a more uniquely satisfying experience than sharing a beautiful summer night enjoying truly world-class entertainment in this unique venue.

Teddy Roosevelt called the old chautauquas, "the most American thing in America" -- he would have loved this place!
