Our Ringleader, DJ, and part of the duo Kit N' Scribbles - it's Wild! Wild is a local creative, performer, educator, and organizer. They started Gainesville Goths in 2023 and joked that it's their neurodiversity support group. They're thrilled to clown with fellow weirdos.

Catch them (if you can) this Saturday at DARK CIRCUS leading the parade, emceeing, performing, and DJing!

🤡🖤🤡 The Dark Circus clowns escaped last weekend to run amuck downtown Gainesville alerting humans to the upcoming circus and dance party event!

Be on the lookout for them again THIS FRIDAY THE 4TH.

They arrive after 10pm and are carrying bubble guns, slide whistles, and balloons! Approach with glee and giggles for maximum shenanigans!

Get a taste of the fun before the main event!
