The circus is coming to Anatolia…but something has gone terribly wrong.
This October, step right up—if you dare—for AnatoliaFest 2026: The Abandoned Circus, an evening filled with carnival-inspired food, curious entertainment, oddities, unexpected surprises, and just the right amount of spooky.
The Anatolia Clubhouse will transform into our very own abandoned carnival for one of the community's biggest fall events of the year.
Guests will be able to make their way through the festivities with Tasting Passports, sampling their way around the event while exploring everything our abandoned circus has to offer. We'll also be serving a catered carnival-inspired dinner, with full menu details coming soon.
And when the lights go down, things get even more interesting...

Throughout the evening, guests can expect a variety of carnival-inspired entertainment and activities, including:

Face painting
360 Photo Booth
Carnival games
Five tasting booths
Tasting Passports
Additional entertainment and surprises
Please note: No clowns have been hired by the Association for this event.
Hypnotist Show | 7:00–8:00 PM
Join us for a live hypnotist performance that's sure to have the audience laughing, wondering what just happened, and possibly questioning whether they should have volunteered in the first place!
