We are very excited to bring the world famous Zoppé Italian Circus to our 2008 Festival. The Zoppé Family Italian Circus will welcome you to their 500 seat Big Top Tent on our Festival Grounds. The Circus honors the best of the Old-World Italian Tradition and features acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning, as well as music and plenty of audience participation.

The Zoppé Circus emerged from humble beginnings more than 160 years ago in Italy to become one of the legendary circuses in all of Europe. Alberto Zoppé, inherited the circus over 100 years ago. He was befriended by John Ringling North of the Ringling Brothers & Barun & Bailey Circus. Invited from Italy, Zoppe was prominently featured in the great circus film, The Greatest Show on Earth.

Today the Zoppé tradition lives on with the new generation of the great circus family. We welcome their Big Top Shows to our Canton festival with great anticipation.

• Performances are set in the Circus Big Top Tent, on Festival Grounds.
• All performances are FREE with festival admission.
