Watch this 8mm movie of a circus in Alaska in 1966
Date: 2021-07-31 00:00:00

I love looking at photos and videos of old-fashioned carnivals. The whimsical imagery from this 1966 8mm home video (titled "A day at the Alaska Circus" on YouYube) fills me with joy.

The video features footage of a tightrope walker, clowns goofing around, rides, and other carnival events. The colors in this Kodachrome 8mm film are also sublime and gives the video a surreal feeling.

Does anyone know which fair or carnival this is?
