World Circus Day

Did you know that there's a World Circus Day? No? Well, I'm rather embarrassed to admit it, but neither did I! The good news is (for you and for me), that's no longer the case! Celebrating its second edition, World Circus Day 2011 will take place on Saturday April 16th.

According to the website, "World Circus Day is a special day for families all over the world to celebrate the magic of the circus. Stage a special event, take a kid to a circus, throw a circus party, dress up like a clown, join a circus fans association, or create your own circus, complete with your family pets."

Headed by the Fédération Mondiale du Cirque and under the patronage of H.S.H. Princess Stephanie of Monaco, this year's World Circus Day will consist of events in 32 countries!
