Circus in the Park takes place Saturday, July 25 from 9:30 am to 1 pm at Millennium Park.

Hosted by the Peterborough Academy of Circus Arts (PACA), the event will celebrate the organization's milestone anniversary while encouraging residents to enjoy the city's downtown greenspace and support nearby businesses.

Visitors can look forward to a full morning of family-friendly entertainment, including pop-up circus performances, roaming characters, interactive photo opportunities and a Circus Playzone featuring workshops in hula hooping, juggling, poi, flow stars, rope darts, staff spinning and obstacle courses led by PACA coaches.

The event will also include a tickle trunk filled with nature-themed costumes for children and families to borrow, while DJ Miss Moss Bubbles will provide music throughout the morning.

PACA will also have a health and safety tent on site offering free sunscreen, water, electrolyte beverages and first aid services.

Admission is free, although donations to support the local non-profit circus school will be accepted.

Organizers say the event is designed to offer a fun, interactive experience for all ages while celebrating a decade of circus arts in the Peterborough community.
