The Zoppé Family Circus welcomes guests into the intimate 500 seat tent for a one-ring circus that honors the best history of the Old-World Italian tradition. Starring Nino the clown, the circus is propelled by a central story (as opposed to individual acts) that feature acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning, and plenty of audience participation.

Mr. Alberto Zoppé, who is the patriarch of the Zoppé Family Circus, a traveling band of men, women, children, and animals that races between county fairs and suburbs, appeared in "The Greatest Show on Earth," Cecil DeMille's Oscar-winning film, and rose in circus lore with his signature act: the backwards, flat somersault. The Zoppé Circus evokes something from a picture book: the clown, the trapeze, the dancing dogs, the ring and the tent. The Zoppé Family Circus is reminiscent of the one-ring European family circuses of the last century and will thrill and amaze children and adults alike with its breathtaking stunts and astonishing acrobatics. This is a one-time event not to be missed!

The Circus Tent will be set up next to the Redwood City Public Library.
