The Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus will begin their final run at Nassau Coliseum tonight.
The circus is calling it quits after 146 years in the business.
Performances start tonight inside the newly renovated Coliseum with shows all week.
The final performance next Sunday will be live streamed on Facebook live.
As News 12 has reported, the circus is shutting down because of declining attendance and high operating costs.
