If your family has been wowed by all the swinging, jumping, and tumbling in the Olympics this month, you don’t have to fly to England to see amazing acrobatics in person! Look no further than Circus Vargas, currently touring the Sacramento area!
This all-human circus is full of incredible stunts that will wow the old and young alike. My kids and I were absolutely blown away by the trapeze artists and balancing acts, and the motorcycle cage had everyone in the audience on the edge of their seats! Even the clown act was a huge hit with the kids. Be careful- you might be pulled out of the audience to take part in one of his skits!
If you get there early (about 20-30 minutes before show time), they invite young children onto the stage for lessons in hula hooping, scarf juggling, and feather balancing! This was a HUGE hit with the kids, and helped to get their wiggles out before the show started! Brilliant!!!
I don’t want to give anything away by saying more, so go check it out for yourself!
Circus Vargas will be playing at the Roseville Galleria August 9-13, and the California State Fairgrounds August 16-20.
Be sure to bring plenty of cash for snacks and souvenirs!!!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
