For one unforgettable weekend, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey welcomed the Ninja Kidz to San Diego for a first-of-its-kind collaboration that brought together world-class entertainment, high-energy performances, and unforgettable family fun. During Ringling’s five-show engagement at Pechanga Arena, fans had the opportunity to see the Ninja Kidz step off the screen and into The Greatest Show On Earth.
From the moment families entered the arena, the Ninja Kidz became part of the Ringling experience. During the immersive pre-show, they joined performers on the arena floor, interacted with guests, posed for photos, danced alongside the Ringling Hype Crew, and helped build excitement before the show even began.
The collaboration continued throughout the production with special appearances that showcased the athleticism, energy, and positivity that have made the Ninja Kidz a favorite among families. Fans were treated to moments featuring tumbling, hand balancing, audience participation, Bailey’s Dance Battle, and a memorable finale that brought the crowd to its feet.

In the days leading up to opening weekend, the Ninja Kidz joined Ringling performers for live television appearances on FOX 5 San Diego and CBS 8 San Diego, helping generate excitement and give viewers a preview of the thrills awaiting them at the show. The group also made a special visit to a local Boys & Girls Club, where Ringling performers and the Ninja Kidz surprised young attendees with an interactive performance filled with circus skills, laughter, and audience participation. The visit created meaningful moments of connection and gave local youth a chance to experience the wonder of Ringling firsthand.
The weekend showcased the power of bringing together live entertainment and the creators families know and love. By combining the excitement of the Ninja Kidz with the awe-inspiring performances of Ringling, the collaboration created new ways for audiences to engage with The Greatest Show On Earth and share unforgettable experiences together.
