PORT LAVACA - Carson & Barnes Circus will be at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Tickets are available online at BigTopShow.com. A portion of sales will benefit the Port Lavaca Mainstreet, Inc.
"This circus likes to team up local entities like nonprofit and economic groups," said Marcus Vela, the director of publicity.
He added that the organization wants to add more than just entertainment value to the communities.
The big top show has been traveling the nation since 1937. It will be a two-hour of classic circus acts, daring high-wire feats and the antics of dozens of clowns.
Animal lovers get a chance to see prancing horses and high-IQ dogs, however the biggest stars of the show are the elephants, according to the news release.
"It's so exciting to see elephants come into the ring and perform," Vela said. Early arrivers get a chance to ride camels, ponies, and elephants. There's also a petting zoo.
Prices range from $8 - $16 at the gate and $6 - $10 in advance with discount coupon.
Vela said the show is up-close and personal and people could be as close as 10 feet away from the main attraction.
"This is an overall amazing show," Vela said. "I've seen the shows so many times and I'm still flabbergasted."
