circus-goer

Big top visitor

A circus-goer is someone who attends a circus performance.

The term emphasizes the activity rather than frequency—you're a circus-goer when you go, whether it's a childhood tradition or a one-time outing: The circus-goers filed into the big top with their popcorn and cotton candy.
