New London — Parade Plaza will be a real circus Sunday.
The Nimble Arts Circus is returning to the New London site for its seventh year to give free public performances.
Sunday's shows are at 4 and 6:30 p.m., and they'll inevitably feature high-flying acrobatic and trapeze work, along with dexterous juggling and amusing comedy.
In addition, there will be a one-hour juggling workshop at 2 p.m. for up to 30 people at a cost of $15 each. Space is limited, so register on the Nimble Arts Circus website, www.nimblearts.org.
