From circus day in Pompey's Rome complete with lions, pachyderms and performances interspersed with chariot racing until modern day Cirque de Soleil, circuses remain the most enduring and endearing form of family entertainment in the world.

Today, the CIRCUS comes to the Canteen!

Early Roman circuses, in keeping with the morals of the day, featured wild and exciting athletes who fought to the death for their freedom; animal duels, daring equestrians and spectacular chariot races that provided entertainment for the gregarious Roman population. 

As the dark ages settled into Europe, circus was forgotten. Groups of touring performers presenting at marketplaces trained animals, acrobatic feats and riders kept the circus fire kindling in the hearts of people.

The world and American grew and changed as did the circus. From wagons, to trucks to trains, the circus continues to reward innovation and creativity. With an independent and capitalistic approach to business, the circus represents what is good and right with American spirit even today. For two thousand years the fire of the circus has burned deep in the hearts of performers as well as audiences and will continue to illuminate the world of entertainment as it continues its' evolution within the human spirit. 

To start today's CIRCUS is a PARADE!

WILD Exotic Animals!!!

Acts that will AMAZE YOU!
