The Not-A-Christmas-Show

by Jon on December 15th, 2007

Miracle on 34th StreetIt's A Wonderful Life poster - circa 1946 Tired of Rudolph and his nose, Tiny Tim, The Nutcracker  and the seemingly endless broadcasts of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street”? 

Feeling a bit Bah-Humbug are we?

Perhaps the Weirdo Show’s Not-A-Christmas-Show, at the Palace of Wonders might help reduce that holiday overload feeling.

Side Show

Who the hell knows what performers you might get to see at the Palace of Wonders – sword-swallowers, magicians, circus acts, fire-dancers, gartered Burlesque dancers, racy vaudeville performers or just a few odd-balls doing weird things that’ll make you shiver.

The Palace of Wonders also has a museum featuring over 500 carnival and sideshow exhibits and pieces of memorabilia.  For a peak inside the museum, click here
