The Circus Arrives: See Photos of Annual Elephant Walk

Today, the circus came to town.

And following the annual Columbia tradition (as well as that in cities across the country), the arrival of the Ringling Brothers Circus means one thing: Elephant Walk.

This morning, the trains stopped near the University of South Carolina Greek Village and the elephants were unloaded.

And dozens of locals crowded lined the Columbia streets to see them.

The circus starts Thursday night and runs through the weekend. Find a schedule of events, and buy tickets, here.
