DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Do Portugal Circus will bring four days of family entertainment to Dothan from June 25 through June 28 under the big top at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds.
Founded in Mexico in 1911, Do Portugal Circus has entertained audiences for more than a century and remains a family-operated production spanning five generations. The traveling show features performers from around the world and promises a blend of thrills, comedy and high-flying entertainment for guests of all ages.
Audience members can expect a fast-paced performance featuring trapeze artists, jugglers, acrobats, dancers, clowns and motorcyclists performing daring stunts inside the Globe of Death. The show is led by Scottish-born ringmaster Jodie Leith and includes the crowd-favorite Human Cannonball act.
“As a family oriented circus, we pride ourselves on making our performances accessible and affordable for everyone,” said Susan Vance of Do Portugal Circus. “We aim to provide a memorable experience for all who attend, filled with thrills, excitement, and moments that families will cherish for a lifetime. The smiles and joy on our audiences’ faces motivate us every single day.”
Unlike many traditional circuses of the past, Do Portugal Circus does not use animals in its performances. Instead, the production focuses on human talent, athleticism and artistry to create a live entertainment experience for audiences.
Guests can also enjoy a variety of classic circus concessions, including popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs, nachos, pickles and other favorite treats. Attendees are encouraged to bring their phones and cameras to capture memories throughout the show.
Showtimes in Dothan are scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday, June 25; 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 26; 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, June 27; and 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday, June 28. Each performance runs approximately one hour and 45 minutes, including an intermission.
