The magic of the old fashioned Big Top Circus is alive and well thanks to the hard working men and women of the Kelly Miller Bros. Circus. This traditional tented circus has been delighting audiences across the U.S. and Canada since 1938, and this season’s all-new edition is coming to Mt. Carmel’s Southgate Industrial Park near the Wabash River Bridge on Friday, May 4, with shows at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.
The Corner, at 4th and Market streets, will be sponsoring the event and has tickets available at the store.
The circus is actually a city on wheels with 72 people on the road with the attraction and 24 animals that are featured in the shows, including elephants and horses, not to mention clowns and a roster of international circus stars.
Friday morning, an entirely different kind of show will take place for free as the circus comes to life beginning about 9 a.m. at Southgate’s lot 10, the farthest east lot in the city’s industrial park. As trucks pull onto the lot from the town the circus performed in the night before, animals are unloaded, stakes are driven, and the men and elephants lift the giant Big Top into the air.
