The Great Falls Shrine Circus returns on Friday and Saturday. It will be at the Pacific Steel & Recycling Arena at Montana ExpoPark.
The show includes acrobats, aerialists, clowns, daredevils, elephant rides for children, and other exciting activities.
Robert Kampfer, the chairman of the Shrine Circus said this event has grown in popularity over the years.
"It's a steady event," he said. "It's a thing that comes around the community. People like the circus, and it's something that the average person can get out to."
The Shriners said there aren't very many places in which you have one event to get your face painted, engage with animals, along with watching dancers and acrobats.
Kampfer described what the Shrine Circus is like for those who look to head out for the first time.
"It's a rapid pace," he said. "They start with the Star Spangled Banner, and from then, they flash the lights out and they start with the first act, and it just goes ... It's constant action and constant change of events."
Kampfer described his favorite part of the Shrine Circus: "Watching people have their time. There's a lot of acts that are a real kick to watch year-to-year, Watching people enjoying themselves and relaxing for a nice time out in the community is the best part."
There are two performances on Friday, April 14: 4pm and 7:30pm.
There are three performances on Saturday, April 15: 11am, 3pm and 7pm.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children; kids under age 5 are free.
