Circus Info!
Eve's Garden Attractions
■■■■■
The general grounds of Eve's Garden Circus are open on a regular 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule, and feature a variety of places to go and things to do when the main shows in the Big Tent aren't performing. The circus grounds take a decent chunk of Goldenrod property, with the clustered nature of the city meaning stalls and buildings are as close together as they can be without presenting a fire hazard. Everything is centered around the Big Tent, although there are certain areas behind it that are reserved for staff only.
One of the main attractions is a carousel! While it features such standards as Rapidash and Zebstrika, there are also other Pokemon such as Lapras, Noctowl, Pyroar, and Meganium.
Another Circus standard is a funhouse! It's been made fairly accessible for humans of all sorts, along with Pokemon.
An area that takes up a good bit of space is the games section! All sorts of carnival games such as hoops, darts, or other things are available to play for a small fee. Prizes range from simple paddle-balls to enormous stuffed toys.

■■■■■□□□□□
For an initial fee and reasonable share of the profits, Eve's Garden Circus has vendor stalls available for hopeful entrepreneurs! Most people tend to sell either food or crafts of some sort, although the circus owner is more than willing to hear out other ideas such as face painting stalls. Locals and fellow foreigners are both welcome to set up shop, and both make regular appearances.
Food stalls have a decent chunk of circus ground to themselves, encircling a small dining area underneath an open tent top where people can eat out of the weather regardless if it's rain or shine. The smells from the vendors tend to fill up most of the circus grounds, luring people to the area.
Stalls for selling items or minor services have their own pair of alleys, and customization of their own area is encouraged for all vendors. Here, some people sell circus themed items, or merely their own crafts that they sell or will make on commission. So long as nothing is dangerous, Joker allows just about anything.

What: The Eve's Garden Circus is open for spring! Come one, come all, and have the time of your life!
When: March 14 - 18
Where: Goldenrod
The Eve's Garden Circus has been a constant in Goldenrod for four years, now. It's brilliantly colored Big Top can be seen even from down the street, and it makes a fine marker for anyone flying in. Past its ticket booth guarded gates lie rows of game stalls, food alleys with heavenly smells, and various set ups from local shops or craftsman with everything from face painting to handmade goods available. While it's often been open, with the main shows playing on weekends, this month it's been especially ramping up to welcome spring.
So come in, enjoy some food, watch a show, and relax!
♤ Flight Service
Before the handy days of teleportation, the Circus offered its own Fly service to help people get to the Circus with a one-way ticket, or a return one to get right back to where they came from! Needless to say, these days, there's not much use for it.... However, some still prefer a more scenic view coming into Goldenrod, or they just want to get a nice view of the city before coming down for a little bit. Either way, various Flying types, courtesy of Falkner, are available for anyone, for a small fee.
♤ Gamer's Alley
It wouldn't be a circus if there weren't any games, would it...?
And boy, are there a bunch of them in this corner of the circus, all of them with their own various prizes to win from simple "magic" wanders to stuffed toys bigger then most people. There's something for everyone, from simple balloon popping to corkgun aiming to picking a floating toy Ducklett with a potential lucky number on the bottom. Heck, pick up a hammer and test your strength!
With everything being metaphorically and literally fun and games, feel free to try some a game or five! And only a couple of them are rigged. Just be careful not to cheat... Among Joker's personal 'troupe' of Pokemon are more than a few Psychic types, and they'll quietly alert stall owners if they think someone is cheating with either skill or Pokemon of their own.
♤ Circus Food
Now what could be called the best part of the circus.
For those who love the classics, don't worry. The scent of buttery popcorn fills the air, and one rarely needs to go far before stumbling onto someone selling cotton candy. Want a hot dog? There's plenty. Want to try something fried that should never be fried? Yeah, don't worry, there's those, too.
It's not all wildly unhealthy food, however. Welcoming in spring means that there's a lot of seasonal foods being sold as well, some more light than the heavier junk food that's about. Sakura mochi seems to be a pretty popular thing that's being sold at more than a few stalls... Sakura is in a lot of things, actually, from desserts to... lattes? There's also a lot of fresh strawberries from certain stalls, some dipped in delicious things like chocolate and others plain. There are also simple things such as chicken and corn on sticks, and other things.
There's something for everyone, so make sure to dig in and enjoy yourself!
♤ Shopping Stalls
For all that they're definitely the draw of the circus, delicious food and fun games aren't the only things it has to offer. Eve's Garden Circus likes to think of itself as a place where various small creators can promote themselves. Who knows- if you run a business, perhaps you've been invited to set up shop!
Either way, there are all sorts of things on sale to welcome in the new year. Some are artists, offering drawings of trainers and-or their Pokemon, or to paint their face with something. Others offer much more physical goods: blankets with various Pokemon patterns, homemade plushes of just about every Grass and Bug type you can imagine...
And did you know that flower crowns are in right now? Oh, sure, floral accessories seem to be a constant in general, whether those are simple earrings or pressed flowers made into light glass bowties. But it's really the flower crows that are a hit, and anyone venturing in will find plenty of people trying to sell them. Hey, it's spring. Why not give it a go?
♤ Showtime
What really makes a circus aren't the games, or the food, or anything else... but the show lying behind the flaps of the Big Top. There, people will get to see all sorts of dazzling things, from a certain daring young woman performing daredevil tricks on her steed, to a pair of 'siblings' doing an amazing trapeze act high up in the air. Should that small child be allowed around throwing knives? Don't worry about it.
It's not only humans who are taking part of the act, either! All of Joker's troupe have a part to play, whether that's the Charizard zooming high speed in the air, or a shiny Zoroark creating amazing illusions to take people's breath away.
Sit back, and enjoy the show. Plenty of applause is more than welcome when the finale hits, as various flowers float throughout the air.
...Just don't try to follow the performers, Pokemon or otherwise, through the backdoors to the staff area. They'll kick you out if they find you, which they will sooner than later. This is a place for rest, drinks and snacks and all, and it's employees only.
♤ Welcoming Spring!
