ALBANY, GA -- If you ride past the Albany Mall you will most likely notice a rather large tent belonging to the Cole Brothers Circus.

The group is in town Monday and Tuesday for four shows.

The 127-year-old circus features an aerial ballet with a pirate theme, a human cannonball, clowns, lots of animals including elephants, lamas, horses, poodles, and more!  This year Ringmaster Chris Connors says there is a new act that will “wow” people of all ages.  “For the first time this year we’re featuring one of the largest group of tigers performing anywhere in America!  We have twelve beautiful royal tigers, Siberian tigers, and a beautiful white tiger” says Connors.

The performance times are 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. behind the Albany Mall off of Dawson Road.
