Middletown Township's Board of Supervisors is set to approve a temporary circus event at the Oxford Valley Mall, following a conditional use hearing held on August 14, 2023. The event, organized by Circay Entertainment 2 LLC from Sarasota, Florida, is scheduled to take place over four days, from August 17 to August 20, 2023.

The approval is necessary under the Middletown Township Zoning Ordinance, specifically Section 502-410(1), which governs community events in the general business zoning district. This decision marks a significant step in enhancing community engagement and providing entertainment options for local residents.

The Board's discussion highlighted the importance of such events in fostering community spirit and attracting visitors to the area. As the circus prepares to set up, residents can look forward to a unique experience that promises to bring joy and excitement to families in the township.

This event not only showcases the township's commitment to community activities but also underscores the potential for future events that can further enrich the local culture and economy.
