Entertainment
This year’s fantastic stage performers include:
The Rivertown Skifflers: Enjoy a knee-slappin’, toe-tappin’ good time with the upbeat musical stylings of Northern California’s favorite jug band!
Mike Della Penna Presents the Not-So-Scary Halloween Show: Surprise! It’s a magic show full of Halloween fun appropriate for all ages! Bring your ghosts and goblins, your superheroes and your fairies, as tricks reign over treats in this silly, fun, laughter-filled show.
Slim Chance Circus, and his Stupendous Student Performers: Step right up and join the fun! One part circus and two parts incredible, Slim and his Harding Circus Performers artfully blend comedy and acrobatics in this magical and hilarious act!
The One Man Band-jo Show: Is it a banjo? Is it a band? No need to compromise, you CAN have it all, because it’s the one-man band-jo!
Volcano Cats: We’re pretty sure the combination of carnival + cats + volcanos might make the El Cerrito-verse implode, but we’ll deal with that later. Come rock n’ roll with Harding’s own Volcano Cats!
Plus: GIANT BUBBLES RETURN, and a Circus skills clinic, open to all!
And don’t forget: Balloon animals and face painting are also available for 2 tickets each!
