JACKSON, NC— The big top makes a return to Northampton County next week.

Walker Brothers Circus will have two shows at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Northampton County Cultural and Wellness Center.

“It gives the family fun and excitement,” said Judy Collier, executive director of the Northampton County Chamber of Commerce, which is sponsoring the event.

Advance tickets are $12 for adults age 15 and older, which includes two tickets for children ages 2 to 14. Cost is $15 at the door for adults age 15 and older, which includes two tickets for children.

Collier said it is a good deal for parents.

Concessions featuring hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy and soft drinks will be for sale.

The Walker Brothers Circus has come to Jackson three times in the past, but Collier said this show will feature new acts. They include an aerialist, acrobatics, magic, comedy and more.

“It is great for the kids,” Collier said. “I hope citizens will take advantage of going to the circus.”
