Founded in 2002 in Northern California by acrobat duo David Jones and Blaze Birge, Flynn Creek Circus tours the Pacific Northwest every year with a different theme. This year’s theme, The Bridge, is inspired by Nordic folklore involving a wolf, a troll, and a goat. Traditional-meets-modern circus acts perform under Capitola’s classic big top tent, including jugglers, aerialists, acrobats, contortionists, clowns, and hula hoopers who go by names like The Emperor, The Raven, Ferryman and Red Countess. In addition to the family-friendly fun, certain dates (like Friday, Jan 2) also feature “Adult Only” shows. Performances go until Jan. 4.
