7 Top Weekend Events For Kids (May 4-7, 2023)

Tripoli Shrine Circus Carden International

The Tripoli Shrine Circus is returning to Wisconsin State Fair Park for eight spectacular performances Friday, May 5, through Sunday, May 7.

For more than 60 years, the Carden family has brought hundreds of thousands of audience members the thrill that only a real three-ring circus can deliver. See acrobats, aerialists, dare-devils, and clowns who are real-life masters of gravity, purveyors of jaw-dropping stunts, creators of belly-jiggling hijinks, and maestros of airborne artistry. 

This all-new production includes presentations of jump roping break dancers, hair-hanging aerialists, foot juggling feats, nine contortionists bending and twisting in extreme ways, and more.
