SHEBOYGAN – Acrobats, daredevils, elephants and more will come to Sheboygan this summer to amaze audiences in the Carden International Circus.

Audiences of all ages are invited to experience the circus June 5 at the Sheboygan Lakers Ice Center. While the show is in town for only one day, performances will be at 4 and 7 p.m.

The Spectacular Extreme Circus is led by Ringmaster “Lucky” Malatsi and will feature BMX riders, trapeze artists, a Motorcycle Globe of Death, high-wire acts, elephants and more.

For more than 60 years, the circus has brought performers from across the globe to thrill audiences.

“These acrobats, aerialists, daredevils, clowns, and more are real-life masters of gravity, purveyors of breathtaking feats, creators of belly-jiggling hijinks, and maestros of airborne artistry,” the release announcing the circus said.

Doors open one hour before the show for pre-show activities including meet-and-greets, animal rides, interactive fun and more.
