THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Flynn Creek Circus is Back Should You Need Some Joy

If you’ve failed to catch Flynn Creek Circus on any of their many previous voyages to Humboldt, the good news is that you have another opportunity to correct that absence of excellence in your life. This weekend the Mendocino-based all-human spectacle is hauling their big top tent to Arcata’s Carlson Park — that’s over off Giuntoli Lane, in case you never registered it — for a series of shows featuring their unique brand of acrobatics, humor and love. Details on how to get close to that, plus other human gatherings, in your Lowdown listings below.
