Circus Gatti makes it annual stop in Abilene Friday and Saturday at the Expo Center of Taylor County.
The Gatti family describes this year’s show as “Funsational!”, and it’s not just for the kiddos.
The circus’ website says, “Parents always thrill at the wide-eyed rapture of the children attending their first circus. From the opening overture to the final turns of the animals, clowns and performing artists, the magic spell of the circus enchants the spectator of any age.
“For the children there are the fresh experiences of the beautiful colors and the sparkle of the splendid circus wardrobe, the daredevil feats of acrobatics, and the simple foolishness of a clown, the overall goodness, truth and beauty of circus entertainment.”
It also notes that adults relive their childhood at the circus and are just as amazed by acrobats, daredevils, clowns and animals.
Here’s a look at some of the acts in this year’s show:
Circus Gatti Elephants — The World Famous Circus Gatti Elephants are back and are presented by wild animal expert, John Pelton. Be astonished as these ponderous pachyderms dance in a Bollywood inspired theme.
