After more than a week of eye opening performances and numerous sold out shows, Circus Vargas was set to close its tour stop in the city of Folsom Sunday evening, but wait there’s more! The Folsom community has welcomed the traveling show so well, that organizers have announced they are extending their stint by an additional day to give everyone another opportunity to take in the entertaining spectacle,
“Due to the overwhelming response we’ve so gratefully received here in Folsom, we are happy to announce that we have added an extra day to our stay,” organizers said in a statement.” We have added a final performance on Monday evening.”
With enough time to tear down, travel and prepare for their next event in Santa Clarita next weekend, the cast and crew of Circus Vargas will step into the ring through Monday, Sept. 9 with an added evening performance at 6:00 p.m. at Lakeside Church on the corner of East Bidwell Street and Oak Avenue Parkway. Prior to the newly added show, they have performances on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., both of which have a limited number of tickets available around the ring where there literally is no bad seat in the house. Ticket availability can be viewed online at www.circusvargas.com as well as on site at the ticket box office, but reserving your spot online will insure you have a seat for the show.
