The Shriners chose Fort Bend County Fairgrounds as their venue because of its growing and diverse population and are proud to return in 2009. The massive covered arena at the fairgrounds will overflow with entertainment as the Ringmaster calls patrons' attention to the center ring beginning at 7 pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 am, 3 pm and 7 pm Saturday; and 1 pm and 5 pm Sunday.

Aimed at providing unforgettable experiences for young and old alike, the circus will open two hours prior to each evening and afternoon performance. Shriners' acts and local talent will entertain the crowds free of charge. Children will be able to get up close and personal with circus animals, including petting them and riding elephants and ponies, if they want.

Arabia Shrine Clowns will be there to take pictures with the patrons and autograph their pages in the Circus programs.

Directions:

Take Highway 59 south toward Victoria.
