Royal Canadian International Circus is managed by the Zerbini and Bauer families. Ringmaster Joseph Dominik Bauer is a ninth-generation circus veteran who has performed annually in Surrey in recent years, including shows in 2018 and 2019 at Guildford Town Centre, and Cloverdale Fairgrounds in 2017.
The 2020 circus tour was to return to Cloverdale in June of that year, but those shows were cancelled due to the pandemic.
“We can’t wait to get back in the ring and provide to our fans what they are yearning to see – a spectacular show,” Bauer stated in a news release. “If past attendance numbers say anything, it’s that Canadian’s love the traditional circus with world-class acts that provide families with a unique opportunity to show their children something new and exciting in a safe enviroment.”
