The St. Louis Arches, a group of acrobats between ages 6 and 16, will perform in Columbia tonight at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Flat Branch Park as part of the Twlight Festival. The troupe, which has existed for 17 years, is affiliated with the Circus Day Foundation, an organization that uses the circus to promote diversity. Jessica Hentoff, artistic and executive director of the organization, described it as, “a social circus organization that teaches the art of life through circus education.”

The St. Louis Arches recently performed with the Circus Flora, a professional one-ring circus based in St. Louis. As part of the circus, the Arches performed alongside professional acts such as the Flying Wallendas.
