The big top tent goes up again near Union Square, as OPENAIR Circus returns for its 33rd annual performances.  Over 100 children, teens and adults will show off the circus skills they have learned over the summer, and indeed over the years.  Tumbling toddlers, poi spinners, stilters of all ages, unicyclists, hula hoopers and much more.

The circus will be at Nunziato Field (corner of Summer St and Vinal Ave, a few blocks from Union Sq) on Friday, August 3 at 7pm, Saturday, August 4 at 2pm and 7pm, and Sunday, August 5 at 2pm.  Requested donation is $3.  Popcorn, refreshments, and circus items available.

This year’s theme is Animals, so expect lions and chickens and bears oh my!

For 33 years, (mostly) young people from Greater Somerville have developed their circus and leadership skills with OPENAIR at extremely affordable summer classes.
