Checking Out the Freaks: Hellzapoppin’ Circus Sideshow Revue at Riot Fest 2018

This Photo Recap of the Curiosities Under the Big Top is Not For the Squeamish
By Christopher Andrew / September 27, 2018October 11, 2018 / Riot Fest 2018

As official Riot Fest photographers, we look forward to the mystery of what to expect at the festival all year long. Between the artists, the fans, and all of the other unique elements that make Riot Fest the special party that it is, we’d be hard-pressed to pick a favorite target to shoot.

However, no matter who plays Riot Fest or what other fun awaits each September, one of our favorite spectacles to shoot each year is the Hellzapoppin’ Circus Sideshow Revue.

Over the years we’ve fallen in love with the show, and the freakishly amazing group of people who put it on. Everything we saw was truly a sight to behold. Enjoy!
