ATLANTA - Family-owned Circus Vazquez is back at Atlanta’s Plaza Fiesta Mall: If the circus is in town, there’s a good chance Good Day Atlanta is going to spend a morning under the big top. Especially when that circus has been perfecting the art of thrilling audiences for 55 years!
We’re talking about the family-owned Circus Vazquez, of course, which is back at Atlanta’s Plaza Fiesta Mall and performing daily shows through Sept. 1. If you’re a regular Good Day Atlanta viewer — and we hope you are! — you’ll remember our morning under the blue and white tent at Plaza Fiesta last year, showcasing a few of the troupe’s astonishing performers.

Among the talent featured under the big top this year is Russia’s Boris Nikishkin, an acclaimed clown, comedian and acrobat making his American debut. The Liazeed Angels are also making their Circus Vazquez debut, led by former tightrope walker Zaida Liazeed and featuring elite gymnast Natalia Kapitonova.
