FESTIVALS | Circus capers

This Friday through Sunday, Nov. 7-9, the Royal Hanneford Circus descends on the Prairie Capital Convention Center to offer six dazzling circus performances, presented by the Springfield Ansar Shrine. The Royal Hanneford Circus is the country’s second largest touring circus, which means there is sure to be something for everyone, adults and children alike. From aerial acts to jugglers, elephants to cats, camels to clowns, this circus has it all. This group is one of the hardest-working productions in the circus industry, as they tour nationally 40 out of 52 weeks each year. General admission tickets are available at various businesses throughout the city, the Prairie Capital Convention Center box office and online at springfieldpccc.com.
