Welcome to Lindsborg Town Talk, your source for news about upcoming events and activities in Lindsborg.
The circus is coming; the circus is coming!
Yes, it’s true. The circus is coming to Lindsborg!
On Friday, May 23rd, for one day only, the Culpepper & Meriweather Circus will return to the Smoky Valley for two performances, at 5pm and 7:30pm.
The shows will be in a three-section Big Top tent set up in the 300 block of East Lincoln street in Lindsborg. Advance tickets are available at 8$ for adults, 6$ ages 2-12 and under 2 are free. Tickets will be available the day of the circus at 11$ for adults and 7$ for kids, so it’s definitely worth getting your tickets early.
Also, the circus is sponsored by the Lindsborg Kiwanis club, and proceeds from advance ticket sales help provide funds for a variety of Kiwanis-sponsored civic, youth and charitable projects.
The day of the circus promises to be an exciting one. Starting around 9:30am is the raising of the circus tent. After the tent is raised, tours will be available. Then, starting at 4pm, the midway opens for rides, concessions, the moon bounce and more.
Then from 5 until 6:30 and again from 7:30 until 9, there will be 2 performances under the big top.
This year’s lineup includes an all-star group of performers and entertainers who are bound to delight audience members of all ages.
The program includes performing camels, a high-wire act, an actual dog and pony show, circus clowns and more.
