Zoppé: An Italian Family Circus
March 9-19 | Times Vary
If you're longing for some Big Top fun, join us for this captivating 175-year-old European circus, run by the Zoppé family for eight generations. This enchanting, intimate show carries on centuries-old circus traditions, with bareback riding and equestrian stunts, hilarious clowning (featuring Giovanni Zoppé and his son Julien), acrobats, jugglers, and more. Even the horses - and the talented performing dogs - are part of the family. In their 500-seat tent, no one is more than 25 feet from the ring!
