Circus Spectacular brings international performers to Dartmouth, N.S.

Circus performers hit the highwire in Dartmouth, N.S., this weekend.

Canada Circus Spectacular was at the Zatzman Sportsplex for two shows Sunday afternoon. This was just one stop in the 90-show summer program.

“It takes a lot honestly. Early mornings and sometimes late nights. At the beginning we had to learn how to put this up and take it down faster,” says spokesperson, Aaron Ketchum.

The travelling show is bringing its international cast of performers to shows all over the Maritimes.

“We’ve got juggling, we’ve got clowns, we’ve got acrobats, we’ve got FMX riders, the globe of destiny, you can see there,” Ketchum says.

Canada Circus Spectacular is in Bridgewater for two shows tomorrow before heading to Amherst for a single show Tuesday.

The productions will then move on to its New Brunswick performances with dates across the province from June 18 to 25.
