On June 7, a procession of circus artists took place at the RUSSIA EXPO, uniting representatives of different genres: acrobatics, athletics, gymnastics, juggling, illusion, clowning, equilibrium and many others. The circus parade was organized especially for young visitors as part of the Days of Childhood held at the Exposition.

"The Russian circus is one of the best in the world, and we have a lot to be proud of. More than 1000 people take part in our today's circus procession. These are both adult masters of their craft and young talents. They presented all circus genres to the visitors," said Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.

The participants of the event, including artists of Zapashny Circus, circus universities and Rosgoscirc, marched in a solemn procession accompanied by a musical orchestra along the route from the Northern Loop of VDNH to the Main Street Stage, demonstrating various tricks to the Exposition guests.

Anastasia Zvyagina reminded that the circus procession at the RUSSIA EXPO is held for the second time. "We decided to repeat the parade because the first one made a sensation, especially among our young guests and left them with unforgettable impressions. And the guests of the Exposition asked us to repeat the procession to once again enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday that the circus always gives us," she said.

The parade ended with a large-scale show by the artists of the Great Moscow Circus on the Main Street Stage. People's Artists of Russia Edgard and Askold Zapashny became the hosts of the event. "It is a great honor for us to take the stage of the RUSSIA EXPO. You will see the artists of the Great Moscow Circus, fragments of several of our shows will also be shown on the stage. Please do not hesitate to support the artists, they need it very much," said Edgard Zapashny.
