The Circus is Coming to Des Moines! Need Tickets to Ringling Bros. Show at Wells Fargo?
Here's how to get your tickets in Johnston. The circus begins Thursday.

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is coming to Des Moines, but you don't have to trek all the way from Johnston to Wells Fargo Arena to purchase tickets.
Johnston's Dahl's Foods is selling tickets from its store for all shows, which begin on Thursday and continue through next Sunday, Oct. 7.
Of course, if you're going to be in Des Moines anyway, you can stop by the Wells Fargo Arena Box Office. Or you can go to dahlstickets.com or call 866-55-DAHLS.

Here's what the circus people have to say about their show:
The fun begins as soon as the audience enters Ringling Bros. Presents BARNUM BASH with a rockin’ Pre-show party happening directly on the arena floor. Party goers can learn fresh dance moves from Ringling Bros. clown DJ Dean, style in glitzy costumes, learn balancing and juggling skills, meet and take photos with circus stars, and even step behind the curtain for an exclusive backstage experience which includes an up-close look at the most exotic animal menagerie only at BARNUM BASH.
