 Hundreds showed up for Santa Clarita’s opening night of Circus Vargas last year, when the “Magikaria” show came to town.

Along with clowns and a hand balancing act, attendees may also enjoy an aerial straps show, a “wheel of death” show and many others.

The theater-style tent seats 1,500 people comfortably, which is also “the star” of Circus Vargas, because of its design, was hand-made in Milan, Italy, and is the most state-of-the-art Big Top tent in use today, according to Circus Vargas officials.

The tent consists of 90,000 square feet of fabric and is supported by 500 individually placed stakes and over four miles of rope and cable weighing over 17 tons.

“The entire setup represents an outlay of a cool $1 million,” according to their website.

“Each set-up day, at the crack of dawn, 30 men start the seven-hour process of raising the Big Top, and each tear-down night, by the light of the moon, the same 30 men roll the tent up and pack it carefully to travel to the next town, where the process begins anew,” according to the show’s website.

Ticket prices range from $20 – $65 and children under age 2 get in for free.

Attendees can watch the show titled and meet with the cast following the show.

The event also offers a free interactive pre-show where you can “meet and mingle” with the cast of “Magikaria.”

Anyone who arrives 45 minutes early will have the opportunity to experience this interactive pre-show,which allows visitors to “create their own magic under the big top.”

Anyone who won’t be around for the show this week can catch the big top’s next stop in Burbank on Oct. 3.

“Get ready for the ultimate entertainment extravaganza for all ages,” according to Circus Vargas officials. “Join us, where the magic begins and the heart-pounding, death-defying action takes place. It’s awe-inspiring ‘edge of your seat’ excitement, all under the big top…where imagination comes to life and the world is full of possibility and wonder.”

More information and tickets can be found on the website or by calling 877-468-3861. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office, which opens the day before the first show.
