The Kenya Safari Acrobats® have redefined the perception of African Acrobats. For the past 20 years they have wowed and awed audiences across the United States. The Kenya Safari Acrobats bring high energy with lots of daring maneuvers even going as high as eight chairs, that are over 25 feet in the air without a safety harness! The three free shows will take place in the Blacksburg First Church of God Parking Lot on Lee Street behind Cabo Fish Taco.

We cannot make our festival happen without the assistance of a crew of tremendous community minded volunteers. To sign-up online to volunteer, visit: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/2758798/false#/invitation.
