The show will include a mixture of comedy and daredevil performances by acrobats, aerialists, motorcyclists and more. The show will include performers from across North America and the world, with shows meant as an expression of multiculturalism. Advertising emphasizes the diverse nature of the performances:
“We’re more than an entertainment company. We’re ambassadors of multiculturalism, bringing together circus superstars from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Every performance is a symbol of respect for all cultures and a showcase of performance art at its finest.”
The Great Benjamins Circus show runs approximately 90 minutes and is designed to be family-friendly, with cheerful clowns and no “scary” moments. The company’s history dates back to 1935, when it was founded by performer Benjamin Davenport.
The circus will be in Woodstock for three performances across a weekend, including a Sunday afternoon matinee. Family attractions like this often use colourful flyer printing and other marketing around the town to help welcome people of all ages to the show.
The Great Benjamins Circus will be under the big top at the Woodstock Agricultural Society from June 19 to 21. Discount tickets are available for children aged 12 and under.
