The Circus is coming to town! Redwood City is excited to welcome, for the seventeenth year, Zoppé, An Italian Family Circus starting on November 1st, for spectacular two-hour performances that will enthrall the entire family! The Zoppé Family Circus welcomes guests into the intimate 500 seat tent for a one-ring circus that honors the best history of the Old-World Italian tradition. Starring Nino the Clown, the circus is driven by a central story (as opposed to individual acts) that feature acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, fun clowning and plenty of audience participation.

Come discover why this circus is legendary, with ringmaster Patrick McGuire leading the way. Feel the thunderous beat of hooves as Caleb Asch and Léa Innocenti bring traditional circus riding to life. Hold your breath as Brayan Portugal soars through the air with impeccable timing on the trapeze, while Bereket Gizaw and Birtukan Haile astonish with their contortionist displays. Marvel at the agility of the Ethiopian troupe with Zwede and his acrobat team performing their amazing act, and be mesmerized by the daring cloud swing of Chiara Zoppé-Meyer. And of course, don't miss the ever-amusing antics of Nino the Clown, who guarantees laughter and joy for all.

The Zoppé family shares its exciting life and story with you as you enter into the Big Top. Everyone leaves with a smile, warm heart, and their own story to discover and tell. The Zoppé Family Circus is a once-a-year event not to be missed, so get your tickets early!
