5 Ring American Big Top
For four generations our family has toured North America with our most traditional of American Big Top Circuses. We strive to bring first class family entertainment to all parts of America - small towns to big cities, urban America and Native America, border to border and coast to coast. Each year we search for the best acts from around the globe, and we weave them together with our world famous animal acts and traditional circus music, to produce the finest big top show in America.
Founders
D. R. and Isla Miller were founders and co-owners of many circuses for 62 years of their marriage and partnership. Each brought an inimitable style to their management and support of their circus family and operation. In today's Carson & Barnes Circus, one sees D.R.'s vision, his penchant for bigness, his delight in circus and his love of animals. One also sees Isla's business acumen, her love of style and beauty, her warmth and caring for her circus family. In addition to producing over 30,000 performances they founded a circus dynasty based on honesty, respect and hard work. Isla passed away in October 1998. D.R. passed away in September 1999. They both are greatly missed.

Barbara Miller Byrd and Geary Byrd manage Carson & Barnes Circus on a day to day basis. Their two daughters, Kristin Byrd Parra and her husband, Gustavo and Traci Byrd Cavallini and her husband Julio are also fill various managerial functions as the family's fourth generation of ownership.
