Every year, our city holds a Circus festival,  along with a fair.  Always at the beginning of summer,  right after the school’s out.  That’s how we start our summer vacations.  There’s nothing quite like being in the rides day and night, with the live music,  street artists,  and happy crowd.  The kids love it!  Even if the rides are quite small compared to our local Six Flags park,  they do go back, year after year.  And of course,  the lights, the rides and colors make for great photo opportunities.
