Yes, Lexington, that is a giant circus tent off New Circle Road. Here’s how you can go.
People traveling on New Circle Road over the past few days might have noticed a new addition to the landscape: A red and white big top behind the Bryan Station Inn.
Circus Lena has arrived.
The circus, set up at 1651 Bryan Station Road, is in town through Sept. 2, with nightly shows at 7 p.m., except Tuesdays, when the circus is closed. There are also shows at 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Circus Lena’s website promises “a fun family affair under the Big Top,” with “thrills, laughter and heart pounding moments.”
The family-operated circus’ social media accounts show past performances featuring acrobats and aerialists, jugglers, clowns and possibly even a dinosaur.
The show lasts 90 minutes and does not include animal performances, the Miami Herald reported in 2021.
General admission tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children ages 3 to 15.
A promotion outlined on the circus’ Facebook and Instagram pages offers a free child’s ticket with the purchase of an adult ticket.
Tickets are available online and at the door one hour before showtime.
