The Circus is Coming!

Placeholder

We're excited that the circus is coming to town. This Thursday, March 31, the newest edition of The Greatest Show On Earth: Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey arrives at Verizon Center. Circus XTREME will have beautiful Bengal tigers, high-wire wizards, spectacular strongmen, BMX trick riders, trampoline daredevils, inconceivable contortionists, a high-flying human cannonball, a bungee aerial skydiving display, and an international assembly of 100 world-renowned artists.

The party starts an hour before the show with the All Access Pre-show, which is free with ticket purchase. Kids, and kids at heart, can meet performers and get up close to the menagerie of animals. The show is also the last opportunity for Washingtonians to see the treasured Asian elephants before they are moved to their permanent home for Elephant Conservation in Florida in May. Circus XTREME is at the Verizon Center March 31 to April 3 and EagleBank Arena from April 6 to April 17. Here, Ringmaster David Shipman
