(Charleston-SC) – Stars of Circus Flora, the European-style one-ring circus in town for Spoleto Festival USA will perform at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park Friday, May 16 when the RiverDogs take on the Lakewood BlueClaws at 7:05 pm.

Fans will be asked to participate in the festivities with a tight-rope act located in the stands behind home plate and other surprises throughout the night.
