Youth AYCO Member + Donation (this will allow a lower-income participant to attend this festival): $90

We acknowledge that people tend to be very uncomfortable talking about money. We do not want to offend anyone or make them uncomfortable. We are trying to experiment with making this festival more accessible to youth participants from a wide range of economic backgrounds. If you have concerns or questions about your ability to participate financially, please contact us at info@commonwealthcircus.com.

Some ways to assess which price point to choose (note: these are general guidelines; we understand that people may have factors and circumstances to consider in addition to these, but we offer them to try to help each family find the most appropriate category):

If your household income is:

• $75K or higher, please consider paying $90/$100
• $45-$75K, please consider paying $55-$80
• Less than $45K, please consider paying $35

Additional means of assessment, if needed:

• If you own your own home, please consider paying $90/$100
• If your child attends a private school and does not receive a full or almost-full scholarship, please consider paying $80-90
• If your child gets free or reduced-cost lunch at their school, it’s reasonable to pay $35
