SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will be coming to the Sullivan County Fairgrounds.
Thanks to the Sullivan County Fair Board, the circus will be at the Sullivan County Fairgrounds on April 20th with shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. for the community to enjoy. The shows will include a brand-new 2023 performance with big cats, aerialists, trapeze artists, 10th-generation bareback horse riders, tightrope walkers, and of course clowns.
Everyone is invited to the authentic one-ring big top circus. The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus welcomes the community to watch the big top be raised, tour the grounds, learn about circus life, and get a behind-the-scenes look at all the animals, their care, and the show.
