Picklewater Free Circus Festival in Union Square

If you're the kind of kid, big or small, who can't walk past a street circus without stopping, then you might want to amble by Union Square for an afternoon of clowning and acrobatics, as Union Square Live presents the Picklewater Free Circus Festival, a month of free Sunday shows. "There are not a lot of low-cost options for entertainment for families out there," saysAbraham Dover, the founder and producer of the festival, who also clowns himself. "And this is a free afternoon of professional-quality circus entertainment."
