Big Top Weekend

Ladies and gentleman and children of all ages… the circus is in town! Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Fully Charged Circus is lighting up Time Warner Cable Arena through Sunday. Come one, come all and enjoy the clowns, elephants, tigers, acrobatic acts, super human stunts and more at this electrifying edition of the circus. Can't make it? Opt for a smaller scale free circus performance at Family Connection Day Saturday. Families can enjoy a juggling, comedy and magic show presented by Flow Circus at the Cabarrus County Public Library.

Make it a prehistoric weekend and check out the Schiele Museum's Fossil Fair. Mine for gemstones, meet prehistoric characters, see a full-sized T. Rex, make a fossil fish print and search for tiny fossils. For something else old, stop by Discovery Place for their ongoing exhibit Mummies of the World. This compelling collection includes ancient mummies and artifacts dating as far back as 6,500 years.
