The Flotsam River Circus performed along the bank of the Mississippi River at Lansing, next to Coffee on the River, Tuesday evening, August 15. Flotsam is a troupe of musicians, circus artists and puppeteers traveling on a handmade raft (as pictured in the surrounding photos), giving free performances in riverfront towns along the way. The troupe’s stop in Lansing was part of its 2023 Mississippi River Tour, a 650-river mile journey over a six-week time frame. The performances are scheduled to take place in 33 different riverfront communities in five different states during that tour, starting in Minneapolis, MN several weeks ago, August 4 and being scheduled to wrap up with three shows in St. Louis, MO September 8-10, including two shows in La Crosse, WI prior to floating into Lansing and one show in Prairie du Chien, WI the following night.
