Circus Vargas is offering unemployed families free admission to weekday performances at Westfield Palm Desert through Feb. 7.
“The economy has hurt so many people lately and has affected our business as well,” said Nelson Quiroga, president of Circus Vargas.
“As a family show, we are very sensitive to the economic situation and how it affects the local communities. We know that many people can’t afford to take their families for entertainment like Circus Vargas so we want to help them,” he said.
More than 10,000 people have been admitted free since Circus Vargas started its unemployment program in 2009, Quiroga said.
The program allows two adults and two children to be admitted.
To receive tickets, bring your layoff notice or stub from an unemployment check to the circus box office the day of the performance.
Circus Vargas shows are being performed at Westfield Palm Desert through Feb. 7.
