Fire Dancing with Opal Raven Cirque!

Opal Raven Cirque will be doing fire dancing at Persip Park, 175 North Street, to kick-off the First Fridays at Five 2024 season!

Opal Raven Cirque is a circus and sideshow performer based in the mountains of Western MA. She’s known across New England and the Tri-State area for her “Danger Dame of the Flame” variety show. Also known as the “Sword Queen of Gypsy Layne”, Opal showcases masterful sword spinning, daring prop tricks, and some say she can even speak to snakes. Opal Raven’s one-woman circus is a unique performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
