One year later: FSU’s Flying High Circus soars to new heights with new big top tent following tornado recovery

After the tornadoes passed, the damage came into focus.

In just half an hour, three twisters tore through Tallahassee on May 10, 2024, flattening trees, tearing roofs and shredding one of Florida State University’s most beloved landmarks: the Flying High Circus tent.

Since the mid-1960s, the FSU Flying High Circus has been the only collegiate circus to boast its own big top tent. The tornadoes left the circus without its iconic tent that had been visible for decades as a symbol of school spirit and tradition.

For nearly a year, the circus team trained in tight corners and made do without their signature space.
