Wednesday’s Westport shows will be set up near the Tackle Box event center at 2680 Westhaven Drive. Tickets are available at the chamber office at 2985 S. Montesano St. and from members of the Ocosta School Parent Teacher Organization, which is sponsoring the show.

At the door, the prices are $8 for kids and seniors and $15 for all others. The box office will open one hour before showtime.
The performances feature classic and unique circus acts including unicycles, tight wire, clowns, performing animals, trapeze and more. According to the circus’ Facebook page, no seat under the big top is more than 40 feet away from the ring.
The concession stand will offer classic circus fare including hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, peanuts and soft drinks.
