Book clowns
Bring the clowns to your event
We're a volunteer nonprofit, so community and nonprofit events come first. Planning a birthday party? We'll connect you with one of our member clowns for free.
What we bring
Balloon twisting
Dogs, swords, hats and flowers, made on the spot.
Face painting
Quick, colorful designs for kids of all ages.
Juggling and magic
Walk-around tricks that stop people in their tracks.
Skits and parades
Full clown units for parades, stages and festivals.
Our clowns also make hospital visits and appear at community fundraisers.
Community and nonprofit events
Rates and guidelines
We get lots of requests from charities and organizations, and we'd love to say yes to everyone. As a volunteer-run Pennsylvania nonprofit, though, we can only take on so many events each year, and the cost of balloons and face paint keeps rising. These guidelines help us keep showing up.
- Events within 20 miles of downtown Erie
- Summer events need a tent or shaded spot for the clowns
- Tell us the date, time and place, and we'll find clowns who can make it
Booking a birthday party?
The alley itself doesn't do private parties, but many of our members do. Send us your date and we'll pass it to a clown who's free. The referral is free; you pay the clown directly.
