The Circus is in Town! In Downtown Redwood City that is! The Zoppe Italian Family Circus returns on November 1st for their eighteenth year, featuring spectacular two-hour performances that will enthrall the entire family. Step into the intimate 500-seat Big Top for a one-ring circus that celebrates the finest traditions of Old-World Italian artistry -- and now, for the first time ever, features a LIVE BAND performing above the ring, filling the tent with exhilarating music that not only surrounds the audience but amplifies the immersive excitement and thrill of every moment under the Big Top!

The show unfolds as a single enchanting story, led by the dynamic ringmaster Patrick McGuire and brought to life by a cast of world-class performers. Feel the thunder of hooves as the Zoppé riders bring traditional circus riding to life with the strength of the fearless Cossack Riders, plus the impressive tricks of the Liberty Horse. Expect to be wowed with dazzling Contortionists, the heart-stopping trapeze, Cloud Swing, breathtaking acrobatic feats, along with the daring suspense of the Ladder of Death!

Add to that playful performing dogs, mesmerizing juggling, and the energy of live music that ties it all together -- creating a circus experience that stirs every sense. Come experience the historical Zoppé Italian Family Circus in Redwood City this season!
