Family fun

Dominguez Circus appears at 33rd Canton Liberty Festival


The 33rd Annual Liberty Fest in Canton Township set for June 18-20, will offer an abundance of family entertainment including gravity defying motorcycle stunts and high wire acrobatic circus acts.

This year, the festival will feature performers from the Dominguez Attractions Circus, a renowned, third generation traveling big top. Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, they are famous for their high-energy, death-defying stunts, including the legendary Globe of Death and high-wire acts including the Wheel of Danger.

As seen on America’s Got Talent and the NBA Half Time show, the Dominquez Family delivers entertainment for all ages.

A native of Bogotá, Colombia, Jorge Dominguez is a third-generation circus artist. He and his family came to the United States in 2004, where their “Globe of Death” act (motorcycles running together in a steel globe) was featured in the 132nd edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Alcira, Jorge’s wife, hails from Peruvian circus family with whom she came to the United States in 2006 to perform with Carson & Barnes Circus.
Circus performances are scheduled at noon, 3 and 6 p.m. at the Schoolcraft College LIVE! Entertainment area during all three days of the festival. The Liberty Fest also includes the annual Liberty Run, a midway, carnival rides, car show, and even more festivities for all ages to enjoy.

Beginning this year, the festival carnival and midway areas will implement earlier start times daily at 10 a.m. and closing at 8 p.m. each evening. 

This year’s presenting sponsor is Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers. Additional sponsors include Boost Mobile, IKEA, LeafFilter, Schoolcraft College, State Farm, Trinity Health IHA Medical Group, and WeatherGard.

As always, parking and admission to festival grounds are free.  Designated sensory hours will take place each day, designed for guests who are sensitive to loud noises and flashing lights. This year, sensory hours will be offered daily from 10 a.m. until noon.
