(SARATOGA SPRINGS) – Circus Smirkus, the acclaimed international youth circus, returns to Saratoga Springs this summer, July 5 through 7, at the Saratoga Race Course on Union Avenue. Shows will be July 5 at 7 PM and July 6 and 7 at 1 and 7 PM. Tickets are $21 for adults (13+) and $18 for children (2 to 12) and are available at www.smirkus.org or by calling 1-877-SMIRKUS.

More than two dozen teenaged stars bring youthful exuberance and polished skills from all parts of the country. The show is full of talent and spectacle, with aerials, acrobatics, highwire, juggling, trapeze, clowning and array of brilliant costumes. Circus Smirkus is the only American youth circus to put on a full-season tour under its own big top, a 24-meter, 750-seat, one-ring tent in the European style. The Saratoga Springs shows are presented by The Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs.
