Tickets are now available for purchase online for Piccolo Zoppé’s Winter Circus presented by North Little Rock Tourism November 9 – November 19 in downtown North Little Rock.
“This will be the first time Piccolo Zoppé has performed in North Little Rock, and we are excited to bring them to our city,” said Erica Warden, Director of Market Development for North Little Rock Tourism.
“What a better time than the holidays to gather your family and start a new tradition with this one-of-a-kind magical European circus that will capture your heart,” said Tosca Walther-Zoppé of Piccolo Zoppé.
The Piccolo Zoppé Winter Circus will perform under a big top in the parking lot at Bishop Lindsey Avenue and Magnolia Street (behind Rock Region METRO’s streetcar barn). Since 1842, the Zoppé family from Italy and now stationed in Arkansas has been entertaining families around the world. The circus, sponsored by North Little Rock Tourism, will have performances through November 19. Ticket prices range from $15 to $100 and are available online at https://secure.piccolozoppe.com/.
