Summary: A group of international performers came to the Big E Circus Spectacular to show off their talents
While most of the 1.4 million people who visited the Big E Festival in West Springfield this year came for the food, beverages and rides, my favorite attraction was the Circus Spectacular! Each year, a dozen or so performers come to put on a show for the 1,600 plus spectators.
Chu-Chuan Ho started off the Circus Spectacular with his Diablo act.
Susan Vidbel kept the audience in suspense with her Cloud Swing act.
The Amazing Alec, a chair balancing extraordinaire from the Big Apple Circus, showed off his balance and strength.
The Italian performer Gimmi Fornaciari, also known as Laserman, kept the crowd captivated with his lightshow.
The Drazdov Trio mixed aerobatics, agility and strength in their Russian Bar show.
And, last but not least, the High Wire Sky Cycle kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
The annual Circus Spectacular is only one part of the Big E Festival. I am working on editing photos from the festival and hope to post them soon!
