Circus coming to Belleville



Wednesday, June 1, 2011

The 45th annual Ainad Shriners Circus returns to Belleville on June 4 and June 5 at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds, 200 S. Belt East.
The three-ring circus combines traditional acts with contemporary thrills, including tigers, elephants, clowns, aerial and high-wire acts.
Shriners Circus Week kicks off on Friday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m. in Downtown Belleville with a parade featuring floats, marching bands, local dignitaries, clowns and patrols of Shriners driving those infamous mini-cars and motorcycles.
Circus performances will be at 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children and can be used at any of the six circus locations: Belleville, Waterloo, Jerseyville, Olney, Salem and DuQuoin. Purchase tickets at all Southern Illinois MotoMart Convenience Stores, Schnucks Supermarkets, and Huck's locations; Tom's Market or from any Shriner.
Free children's passes are available online at ainadshriners.org/circus. Proceeds benefit the Ainad Shriners operations.
