Inscription.

Having assumed ownership in 1975 of the then 87-year-old Circo Atayde Hermanos, Andres, Alberto and Alfredo have perpetuated the legacy of this cherished Mexican institution while diligently maintaining its standing as one of the preeminent circuses of the Western Hemisphere. A diverse trio, the Ataydes’ success has been achieved through a remarkable ability to manage one of the entertainment world’s premiere attractions and from an uncanny sense for presenting shows that fulfill the expectations of their audiences.
