The OpenAir Circus returns for its annual performances at Nunziato Field this weekend: Friday, July 30, at 7pm; Saturday, July 31, at 2pm and 7pm; and Sunday, August 1, at 2pm. The OpenAir Circus offers instruction in circus arts—including juggling, miming, stilting, tumbling, unicycling and more—to children in Somerville. The kids and their instructors show off what they've been practicing all summer at the performances in Nunziato Field.

Park users at the off-leash recreational area (OLRA) at Nunziato Field are reminded that there will be a lot of people visiting our park this weekend. Many folks will not know that you cannot get to the main area of the field from the OLRA. There may be occasions when visitors to the Circus enter the OLRA "airlocks" without understanding how the double gates protect our pets from escaping from the park.

Please be courteous to our guests at Nunziato Field this weekend as always! Make people feel welcome while helping them make their way to the big top, and please be extra vigilant in helping to keep our dogs safe.
