    The Zoppe circus just happened to be in Galveston as my family and I were visiting for Spring…read moreBreak. My kids (5 and 7) and I loved the show! Great humor and very talented performers. 2 hours sounded like a long time and I wasn't sure how my kids would do having to sit still that long, but the show was great and time flew by. Would highly recommend for young families. Note that they have live music playing which my 5 year old found to be too loud at times, so if you have younger kids you might want to bring ear protection. They also only have lemonade for sale, so if you want water bring it yourself.

    This is their first time doing this show in Monterey, and after attending during their opening…read moreweekend, I hope word spreads about how wonderful the experience is. I've been to Zoppé Circus in Redwood City a couple times in the past, and can say this is the best one yet! They gave silver and gold carnevale masks to VIP ticketholders at the entrance, but there's a small souvenir shop which sells masks as well. And you'll want one, to become part of the show. The Carnavale di Venezia was an extraordinary theme that they stuck with and executed beautifully, really touching upon emotions that I didn't expect, starting from the moment I walked into that circus tent. The bright and cozy atmosphere, italian circus music playing through the speakers, concessions like popcorn and cotton candy being sold from carts, a nostalgic and warm feeling of going back in time to the simple joys of going to the circus, as well as the beginning of theatre. Here's the exact timing and schedule for Saturday's evening show (7:00pm listed showtime on tickets): - 7:00 pre-show (outside circus tent) - 7:30 start time - 8:30 intermission (7 minutes) - 9:05 end of show Some of the acts were quite unique (coming from someone that goes to a lot of circuses), including an artist performing acrobatic moves while balancing on the tip of a cello, a stilt walker captivating the audience while walking on all four limbs, a Pinocchio bit with an adorable kid playing the wooden doll come to life, a mime/musician/ juggler creating rhythmic sound effects with balls, masquerade dancing, and live animal performances with both the trainers and animals (horse, pony, dogs) wowing the crowd. My fave was the dog show, with canines doing some typical and not-so-typical stunts and tricks. It was especially fun watching the little dogs ride on the back of the pony as it galloped around the ring. A lot of actors young and old impressed throughout the show, including a 3-year-old toddler, an adorable mini version of Nino the Clown. They all did a remarkable job on stage, regardless of age, every one of them just seemed genuine even when in character. Beyond laughter and amazement, this circus really brought the feeling of family, which could be felt not just seen. I couldn't help but leave this event smiling.

    It's more of a public square than a park. The name comes from a biennial singing contest that…read moreGalveston hosted in April of 1881. There's a historical marker that tells the story. It's where you can find the "Greetings from Galveston" mural as well as a cool looking mosaic of George P. Mitchell (the "Son of Galveston"). It's a nice tribute to the Mitchell's who started up the project to create this area of celebration. It's currently the place where free movie and music events occur every summer. We were there just before Christmas time. There was a huge Christmas tree with a Santa's chair in front of it. A great photo op for family pictures. But, it was the Galveston mural that really brought us here. My husband was born on the island (B.O.I.), but moved to Tampa when he was 2 years old. It was his first time seeing Galveston since that time. The picture of him with the Galveston mural made this visit special. It will always be memorable for us.

Music performances take place here, on top of the usual buskers on the corner. You'll find the "Greetings from Galveston" mural and the London-style phone booth, either of which is always good for a selfie. The park takes its name from Saengerfest, a biennial singing contest sponsored by German immigrant choral societies around the State of Texas in the 19th century.
