WATSONVILLE -- The circus will open today at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds for a five-day run.
The American Crown Circus features acrobats, jugglers, clowns and a magician.
This year's show, focusing more on performances by people, is a departure from the 2010 acts, which featured a motorcycle daredevil and stressed thrills, said circus co-owner Leo Osorio.
"It's just a lot more entertaining," Osorio promised of this year's event.
Osorio and his brothers are the grandsons of Jesus Osorio, who founded Circo Osorio in 1927 in Mexico. The brothers followed their father and grandfather into the business. Though the brothers no longer perform their high-wire act, they produce the circus.
Today's show will be at 7:30 p.m. Shows on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., with an additional 3:30 p.m. performance on Sunday.
Tickets are $16 for 12 and older. Two children are admitted free with each adult ticket. Additional children's tickets are $5.
