The Zoppé Family Circus Returns

For the last 10 years, performances by the Zoppé Family Circus have been a much-loved and much-anticipated treat. Playing to packed houses and wowing kids and adults alike, the artists of Zoppé work with traditions that date back to the Circus’s founding in Italy in 1842.

This year’s run, however, reflects the new and current reality of 2020/21, and so the extravaganza has been reborn at the Zoppé Family Circus Drive-In. Instead of sitting under the big-top tent, the 2021 circus will allow audiences to enjoy the circus from the safety of their own vehicles, while the performers can be seen on an elevated stage and circus ring, as well as displayed live on large LED screens. Sound will be broadcast through car stereos, just like a traditional drive-in movie theater on FM radio, with minimal sound coming from the stage. The circus family will be welcoming cars for half an hour before each show, including an old-fashioned circus parade through the cars. Performers and acts for this year’s Circus include high-flying gymnastics, acrobatics, and feats of strength, all under the watchful eye of ringmaster Mace Perlman. Shows will run between January 15 and January 31. For tickets and showtimes, please visit the Mercado’s website.
