Elephant walk kicks off Circus at Amway Center!

Last night the famous Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Elephants made their annual walk through the streets of downtown Orlando. This annual parade of the Elephants kicks off the Circus's yearly stop in Orlando. Local families lined the streets to catch a glimpse of these majestic animals as they walked together from the Circus train down the street toward the Amway Center.

2012 is the year of the Dragon for the Chinese calendar, as well as the theme for the 142nd edition of "The Greatest Show On Earth®",  Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson will preside over this years "fantastical celebratory tournament of circus champions" bringing together mystical dragon tales, with exciting and death defying circus feats.
