Circus on Ice came to Vicksburg and was a big hit for families

The Circus on Ice came to Vicksburg, MS on Sunday, Jan. 23. and was a big hit for families.

Upon entering the Vicksburg Auditorium, there were a variety of light up toys available for purchase. Children gathered around excitedly to pick their favorite wand or sword.

Employees of the circus were dressed in dark navy usher/usherette style clothing. They were painting the faces of small children who wanted to be turned into their favorite characters.

A balancing act was a highlight of the show

When the time came for the show to begin, an expressive clown emerged and started to get the crowd going. He would become a highlight of the show as eruptions of laughter emerged from the children in the audience.

A battle between two bears was a huge hit

Acts that were witnessed would include juggling, ice skating, tight rope walking, and a battle between two costumed bears that was especially thrilling for the children in the audience.

Custom photos were optionally taken of guests upon arrival and given out to families throughout the night. The cast was energetic and professional. Kids screamed the loudest when beloved characters like Elsa and Anna from Disney’s Frozen took the stage.
