The Downtown Pittsfield… It’s Alive! Night Circus will feature live ska and punk rock bands presented by 413ska; a fire show with Last Ember; free Tarot Readings by Emily Dunsay Wild at 90 North Studio; a beer garden with Hot Plate Brewing Co.; specialty alcoholic beverages from HAND CRAFTED Catering; food from Flavourful Bites, HAND CRAFTED Catering, and Cookie’s Cupcakes; and vendors curated by Jake Seeley of Bomb Shack VIntage.

Last Ember will bring two fire performances to School Street at 4 and 5 pm!

With a variety of 10+ acts (from flaming staves to fire eating, to knife juggling and more) and over 15 years professional training, Jesse M. Thomas (Last Ember) is bound to impress. From a very young age, Jesse felt called to the world of circus performance and flow arts and has since dedicated much of his life to the mastery of prop manipulation and fire-spinning.

413ska will present 3 bands on Dunham Mall.

CARSON DALY CITY TRAIN (3 to 4 pm):

A supergroup featuring members of Futon Lasagna, The Agonizers, ghost tones, So Many Dangers, and Steppin Razor Blades – playing covers from the Carson Daly TRL era and your favorite punk songs from the 90’s!

Datura (4:15 to 5 pm):

Datura is a Punk Rock Band from Pittsfield with Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Paxton miller, Lead guitarist Zach Farina, Drummer Brody Barnes, and semi temporary Bassist Jack Bradway. Datura’s style is inspired by Greenday, blink-182, The Ramones, and other punk classics, attempting to provide a comical, fun experience and music an audience can relate to.

HardCar (5:15 to 6 pm):

HardCar is a four-piece alternative punk rock band from Western MA. They combine elements of The Ramones, The Vandals, and The Muppets to create a frenetic cartoon fight cloud of three chord mischief with more catchy hooks than a fishing derby. They released the EP, “Cars of Hardness” in 2024.

The band schedule is subject to change.

Downtown Pittsfield… It’s Alive! Night Circus is presented by Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. in partnership with Mill Town Foundation, the City of Pittsfield, Bomb Shack Vintage, 413ska, HAND CRAFTED Catering & Events, Hot Plate Brewing Co., and 90 North Studio.
