Free, Family-Friendly Circus Night in Puerto Morelos

If you’re staying with Abbey del Sol and want an easy, local, feel-good evening out, keep an eye out for Imagine Puerto Morelos Circus—a community-loved, free show that blends circus arts and live music in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.


This project began in 2014 with a simple goal: offer a high-quality circus show at no cost for Puerto Morelos families. 


Led by Antonio Guerrero (“Titipín”), the group grew from a small team of multidisciplinary artists into a vibrant platform where performers share their craft with the community—supported over the years by local cultural and municipal partners.

What it’s like

Imagine Circus isn’t a “tourist show.” It’s a local tradition—neighbors, visitors, kids, grandparents, everyone together—sharing laughs, music, and a solid dose of “how did they just do that?”

No animals—just talent

In Puerto Morelos, “circus” doesn’t mean animals. Quintana Roo has a “circus without animals” approach, and Imagine Puerto Morelos Circus reflects that spirit fully: the show is built on human skill, training, creativity, and performance, not on exploiting wildlife.


A no-animals circus keeps the focus on what’s actually impressive: discipline, artistry, and courage—from aerial work and acrobatics to juggling, clowning, and live music.

That’s a big deal in a world where animals are often treated as props for photos or entertainment.

For guests and locals alike, it also sets the right tone: Puerto Morelos can be fun without being careless. You get an uplifting night out that’s family-friendly, community-driven, and aligned with a more respectful relationship to the natural world.

When and where

Imagine Puerto Morelos Circus events are typically held in town at the Parque Fundadores, and the schedule tends to follow a simple, family-friendly flow.
