Circus to kick off at Kamloops mall Thursday

A big top circus tent is popping up at a Kamloops mall for five days of events.

American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio will perform high-flying acts under a tent at Aberdeen Mall from Sept. 1 to Sept. 5, according to the circus website.

Performances will include aerial acrobatics and motorcycles as the circus dazzles audiences in Kamloops later this week.

Tickets start at $10 for children younger than 10, while regular tickets are up to $25. More information can be found at the circus website here.

There are ten performances in Kamloops before the circus continues its Canadian tour west to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.
