AUBURN — The Garden Bros. Circus opened Tuesday afternoon at the Norway Savings Bank Arena with a sold-out show.

Performers put on a number of entertaining acts for the family audience, including gymnastics routines and edge-of-your-seat BMX tricks.

The clown duo kept children laughing with its cat-and-mouse antics. They also occasionally brought up audience members to participate in their routines. 

The circus also offered a number of activities during intermission, including face-painting, miniature-horse rides and the opportunity to feel larger than life on the back of an elephant. 

The next circus opportunity in the Twin Cities is the Kora Shrine Circus this weekend at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston. 

Kora Shrine Circus 

• Friday: 4 and 8 p.m.
