Elephants on the Street?!
From the circus to Nyack!
For the first time in over 100 years, a live elephant will parade down Nyack’s Main Street on Saturday, July 25th at 10am to kick-off the two and half week celebration of the 400-year old Hudson River discovery and the 200-year birth of the American Circus as part of the “Circus-in-the-Park Extravaganza.”
Amazing Grace CIRCUS!, the region’s only year-round children’s and youth circus, will present a Circus-in-the-Park Extravaganza! July 19 – August 2 at Memorial Park in Nyack under the beautiful Cirque du Soleil-like tent.
Over 5,000 people are expected to fill the streets of Nyack during this two-week run, billed by the co-founders of AGC! as ‘a community event like no other…an antidote to the economy…fun and entertainment for the whole family at a reasonable price.’
The AGC! Youth Troupe, a circus company of 13 teenagers from Rockland and Bergen Counties, will perform on the weekends and lead the Old Tyme Circus Parade Down Main Street on July 25th.
Nyack’s Mayor Shields and Rockland County’s Chairwoman of the Legislature, Hon. Harriet Cornell, will be co-Grand Marshall’s of the Parade AND co-Guest Ringmasters in a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony in AGC!’s tent.
Tickets to all circus events are on sale at the Riverspace box office.
This was excellent!
Thanks for all the info!
Nyack is quite a charming town. I used to live in Newburgh and am loving my new place in Nyack! There’s always something going on and its a short ride to the mall, major highways and NYC!! Can it get any better?
I can’t wait to see this!! It seems like every weekend there’s something new going on in the streets of Nyack! It must be an ideal place to live.
