More Than Just a Show
The Freak Show Circus Halloween Extravaganza isn't just about scares and laughs. It's a celebration of the weird, the wonderful, and the downright freaky. It's a chance for everyone to embrace their inner oddball and let their freak flag fly.

Tickets and Times
The freaky fun kicks off each night at 7 PM and runs until the witching hour (that's midnight for you non-spooky folks). Tickets are available online or at the door, but fair warning – this event is known to sell out faster than a vampire runs from garlic.

A Word of Caution
While the Freak Show Circus Halloween Extravaganza is all in good fun, it might be a bit much for the very young or easily scared. If you faint at the sight of fake blood or run screaming from people in masks, you might want to stick to the family-friendly daytime events.
The Grand Finale
