Circus Flora's 33rd Season Takes Audience Members On Flying Adventure Inside Schnucks Grocery Store

Circus Flora
Duo Ikai teeterboard act.

Circus Flora is a longstanding tradition for many St. Louisans and is back in action this month for its 33rd season. This year’s show is bringing audiences to an unlikely place for an adventure – a grocery store. Schnucks, to be exact.
