BRADENTON --  If you like water and high-flying excitement for the whole family, you will want to park yourself in a lot at the Desoto Square Mall.
This week, the circus comes to Bradenton and circus fans will get the chance to see its actors and acrobats.
If you see what's going to happen under the massive blue and white tent outside Desoto Square Mall, you might call it the greatest show on surf.
 Owner Manuel Rebecchi and his crew just started setting up the tent this weekend with big promises for big acts just outside the mall.
"Italy came back to the United States, this time, with a huge show called Aquatic Show."
The tent is 65-feet-tall and it will only be a matter of time before the arena is filled with 35,000 gallons of water.
"To see something like that for the first time in your town, you're going to need to go to Vegas and you're going to need an airplane. This week, I bring you Vegas in Bradenton, Florida," Rebecchi said.
"It's going to have a combination of fun, surprise, and there will be wows throughout the crowd," show promoter Jennifer Cascardo said.
The aquatic show runs Wednesday through Sunday.
Tickets for kids under 12 are ten dollars, and for adults up to 35 dollars. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Police Athletic League.
