November 6, 2025 (El Cajon) – A brand new circus is coming to San Diego’s East County. The Marinelli Brothers Circus brings its brand-new production titled “A New Experience”, bringing its signature mix of magic, heart-pounding excitement, and family fun to Parkway Plaza November 12 – December 5.
An entertaining outing for families, the Marinelli Bros Circus is not your average night under the Big Top. Blending classic circus tradition with fresh, modern energy, this show offers jaw-dropping acts, death-defying stunts, and laugh-out-loud comedy for all ages.
A New Circus Experience Built for Family Fun

Also returning is the lovable Matti the Clown, whose comedic timing and crowd interaction have made him a favorite with kids and adults alike. Each act is designed to ignite the imagination, spark laughter, and deliver the kind of joy that only live performance can bring.
What to Expect:
- A full Big Top experience with classic circus atmosphere
- High-flying aerial acts, trapeze, and aerial straps

little ones for the first time, the Marinelli Bros Circus is designed to entertain and inspire.
