Salt Lake City, Utah – For 140 Years, It’s One Thing You Could Count on, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus Elephant Walk & Circus Parade. Sometime during the night on September 21st a mile long sixty one car train will arrive, gleaming by the light of the moon. The pre-dawn silence will be broken by the chatter of 130 performers, speaking 15 different languages and the mystical sounds of 100,000 pounds of Asian elephants, Bengal & Siberian tigers, horses, ponies, llamas, Pygmy and Nubian goats, a rare Watusi, all joining forces with human performers from the four corners of the world as they disembark in Salt Lake City. The elephants will raise their trunks and remember the town they’re in. Man and beast will work to get ready for that grandest of traditions, The Great Circus Parade.
At noon on Wednesday, September 22nd the sirens of the Salt Lake City motorcycle police will open the show. The parade will start at 200 South and head north up Rio Grande Street the center of the Gateway Mall and end at 50 North Rio Grande Street .
Children will line the streets as they have for generations, eyes gleaming with anticipation, parent’s hearts filled with joy for a peek at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Barnum’s FUNundrum!SM.
