Eureka has just been a big top magnet this summer. Fresh on the heels of Flynn Creek Circus's stop by the waterfront last month, Cirque Italia will make its return to the sprawling parking lot behind the Bayshore Mall this weekend. This trip the troupe is bringing its Water Circus production featuring pirates, mermaids and aerial feats performed above a colorfully lit 35,000 gallon tank of water.
Sample the moisture in the clip above. Details on Cirque Italia and other drier events in your Lowdown below.
