Night two inside the Market Hall spiegeltent brings a fresh lineup of circus and sideshow acts to keep you on your toes.

The night opens with a drag clown performance, followed by a circus act from Jessica Connell and roving performers.

Don't miss Gameshow: UMSU Mastermind, where featured UMSU Clubs including Swifties' Society (Taylor's Version) and Language Exchange Club go head to head on their specialist subject for the prize, followed by a duo circus act from Aurora Flaire.

Grab a drink from the onsite bar (18+, ID required) and an $8 whole pizza while you watch. While you're there, search for the UMSU lolly jar and take a guess how many lollies in the jar to take it home, along with surprise prizes.

Over in the Amphitheatre, we have UMSU Clubs, Silent Disco (5:30–7pm), tarot reader Radha inviting you on a journey of this ancient art, a carnival hat craft station and hot drinks, with free hot chocolate for the first 100 people.

Come dressed for the occasion: carnival glamour or clown chaos, whatever feels right.
