Cirque Italia, the first-ever traveling Italian water circus, stops in Katy this weekend
HOUSTON โ Check out โCirque Italiaโ the first-ever traveling Italian water circus that will be performing their first shows of the brand-new 2021 tour! This is an innovative and unique production, (the only one of its kind in the country), and this weekend they are stopping under the blue and white swirly tent right near Katy Mills Mall. The story begins with our Ringmaster โClown Rafinhaโ fishing when he unexpectedly catches a bottle with a treasure map stuffed inside. His journey takes the audience through the high seas, dreams of angelic aerialists, pirate fights, and more. You will see swashbucklers balancing upside down on a rum barrel, juggling knives, and even one having a run-in with a mermaid.

Acrobats hurt in circus accident reach $52.5M settlement
โIt's a great result, it's the right result and it's a just result," Zachary Mandell, an attorney for the eight women, said of the settlement, first reported by The Providence Journal. โThese clients will now be able to have meaningful recoveries with the assistance of this settlement," he said. The women in 2016 sued the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority, which owns the arena, and SMG, which manages it. Sean Brousseau, listed as an attorney for both entities, said Monday he could neither confirm nor deny a settlement. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which closed in 2017, also agreed to take several steps to improve safety.
Family-run circus in north Houston welcomes back guests after shutting down amid pandemic
HOUSTON Circo Hermanos Vazquez reopened in north Houston after being shut down for months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The family-run operation said they worked with the Houston Health Department and the Houston Fire Marshals Office to make sure they had the proper health precautions in place. Situated off Interstate 45 near Tidwell Road, the Circo Hermanos Vazquez family circus is in town for their 50th anniversary. The Vazquez family started the tour in February, temporarily shut down amid the pandemic, and then reopened in June. But when hearing about the circus in town, one local medical professional raised concerns.
