A traveling circus that performed on St. Louis’ riverfront last night had to find a new spot after a staffer in St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones’ office told the circus to cease its performances. The Flotsam River Circus announced on Facebook today that due to “some powers within the city,” circus members were scrambling to find another location to perform in St. Louis after hosting one performance near Laclede’s Landing last night. Flotsam has given free performances along the Mississippi River since its troupe of performers, puppeteers and musicians launched from Minnesota in a homemade raft about six weeks ago.
