Circus Vidbel returns this weekend at Saxe

Twenty-nine local businesses and individuals have rallied to support Circus Vidbel, the annual New Canaan YMCA and Kiwanis Club Circus Fund-raiser. Performances will take place at 3 and 6 p.m. each day tomorrow, Friday, July 1, Saturday, July 2, and Sunday, July 3.
“Last year’s circus was such as success that we’ve added an additional day of shows,” said Y Executive Director Craig Panzano. “It’s a great family event for our community, and we are grateful that so many local businesses and families have rallied together to help us bring Circus Vidbel back to New Canaan.” Circus Vidbel, a family-run, one-ring, old-time circus, has been performing across the United States for more than 20 years. New performances this year include the Zamperla Brothers Bareback Riders showcasing impressive equestrian acrobats, Chinese Vase Jugglers, and a nail-biting archery act. Favorite acts from last year that will be returning will include aerialist Susan Vidbel in breathtaking cloud swing and lyra displays, the Darnell Sisters’ magic and dog act, Risley juggling and the Rola-Bola balancing board act.
“The Y and Kiwanis share a common goal of serving children and families,” said Kiwanis President Jenny Esposito. “The circus is our gift to the community, and we are looking forward to creating a family tradition here in town for years to come.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit youth development programs at the New Canaan YMCA and throughout the community.
Tickets for the circus are $15 in advance or $20 at the gate (children under two are free) and are on sale at the YMCA front desk, as well as these local merchants: Baskin-Robbins, Elm Street Books; First County Bank; Hawthorne, Ackerley and Dorrance; New Balance; and TD Bank.For more information, phone 203-966-4528, or visit newcanaanymca.org.
