We have to wrap up The Tent in the fall but Big Top Chautauqua is now entertaining year-round with the opening of our new venue— The Backstage.
The Big Top’s headquarters, box office, and gift shop relocated to Bayfield, Wisconsin (in the remodeled building formerly known as the Northern Edge/Fore’n Aft) and The Backstage event center is right through the same doors, just outside Bayfield city limits at the intersection of Highways 13 and J.
Locals have always been good to us so we really want to give people living in the area year-round something to do in the offseason. And we'd love to see more winter visitors in the area. There are great places to have a drink or a meal on a Saturday night, but there aren't many places where you can see a live performance. We hope to change that. Here, we can try some things with local talent and traveling performers that we may not be able to get on stage at the Big Tent. We hope you'll join us at The Backstage where we intend to play, experiment, and have some impromptu fun nights.
Dining Information
The Backstage serves quality food and drinks before and during most shows.
Offerings feature a unique menu, lite fare, and shareable plates. The bar serves beer, wine, cocktails, and specialty drinks created for us by David Sneed of the 211 Martini Bar. We recommend coming early if planning on eating. Menu varies. See specific events for dining details. Open Mic Nights typically feature a limited menu: Sample Summer/Open Mic Menu
Keep an eye out for these shows coming soon to The Backstage!
Be sure to join our mail list (at the bottom of this page) for more info and more great things to come!
Open Mic Nights: Wednesdays 6-9
Shows planned at The Backstage again during The Tent's 2023-24 "off season" (November-May)
