2011 4th of July Celebration Entertainment

At the request of the event’s founder Dr. James Parker, in 2006 Paula Reynolds began the Mt. Shasta Walking Circus as a new facet of the Mt. Shasta Runners Fun Run/Walk. The Walking Circus provides roving entertainment before and after the race, and along the “walk” portion, traveling with the participants. Enjoy performances by the Mt. Shasta Walking Circus, which consists of professional stilt walkers, acrobats, contortionists, hula hoopers, unicyclists, musicians, clowns, belly dancers, costumed characters, mimes, and more. There is amazing circus and live music entertainment at every turn, with shows throughout the Mt. Shasta area all three days of the festival.

Entertainment: Over four dozen talented performers along the walk route - a virtual parade in reverse. Church choirs, belly dancers, gymnasts on the ground and surprises in the sky, classical instruments and country bands, family singers, and traveling balloon artists are just some of the bizarre and sublime acts awaiting your stroll by.
