UMO will hold its second annual Circus Spectacular beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Open Space for Arts & Community.

The family-friendly evening will include acts by UMO’s advanced aerial students, old and new acts by UMO Ensemble, dance and theatrical skills by Seattle’s Acrobatic Conundrum, plus the quirky sound of musical duo Miles and Karina.

UMO teachers will be on hand to instruct audience members on the Tumbl Trak and balance beam. For the fast of feet, there will be a dessert dash, and a raffle prize will be given.

Proceeds will support the UMO School of Physical Arts, including the purchase of equipment for the new Parkour course, scholarships and additional classes. Some of the funds will benefit the artistic work of UMO Ensemble.

Tickets are available at circusspectacular.brownpapertickets.com and at the door.
