Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua (sha-ta-qwa) is a year round nonprofit performing arts organization. We operate an intimate 900-seat, all-canvas, state-of-the-art tent theater, producing and presenting a seventy-plus night summer season of concerts, plays, lectures, and Chautauqua Original Musicals. This growing repertoire of original, historical musicals celebrating the history of the people and places of the Midwest is the heart and soul of Big Top Chautauqua.

We are nestled at the base of Mt. Ashwabay Ski Hill, 3 miles south of Bayfield, Wisconsin, overlooking Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Our summer schedule includes performances by renowned national, regional and touring musicians and runs from mid June to early September. On balmy summer nights the tent sidewalls can be lifted and people may sit outside and even up on the hillside. The sound is superb and on clear nights you can see the Milky Way and sometimes even the Northern Lights!
