History

"The Story of our Circus from Beginning to present day. Follow our journey since 1911 and how we got to where we are today. Circus is in our blood and we carry our Portugal family name with pride"

The Portugal family have been entertaining the American Continent for 5 generations. The story begins as early as 1911 when Artists from the family began performing in Circus’s throughout Mexico.

In 1950 the family started performing in their first tent and opened their own circus. This Circus was called Circus America and traveled along the Mexican Pacific Coast.

After Circus America the circus continued as Circus Dina in the 1980’s and in 1993 the Circus became Do Portugal Circus.

Throughout the following decades Do Portugal Circus travelled the entire republic of Mexico and in December 2014 the circus crossed the border for the first time and debuted the show in El Salvador. In El Salvador they started a tour of Central America and in 2019 they began their tour of the USA.

In 2021 Do Portugal circus started performing in 2 different tents in the USA and in Mexico.

To this day all shows are run by the Portugal family and will continue to pass down the Circus tradition for many generations to come.
