The OPENAIR Circus presents its annual performances this weekend, July 31 to August 2.

OPENAIR is celebrating its 30th year of teaching circus arts to the youth of Somerville and surrounding communities. This is an excellent opportunity to see cute kids and accomplished teens performing a great variety of different skills as well as to see what your kids might want to take next summer.

Performances will be at Nunziato Field at the corner of Vinal Ave. and Summer St. near Union Square in Somerville. People are encouraged to come on foot, by bicycle, unicycle or tricycle, or using public transportation. If you are coming by car, it has been requested that you avoid parking on Vinal Ave. out of respect for neighbors as the parking congestion can be intense during events at Nunziato.

Performance times are: Friday, July 31 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, August 1 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, August 2 at 2 p.m. The suggested donation is $3.
