Performing tiger acts continue to be one of our most popular attractions here at MacKay Entertainment.  They are the most requested animal act bar none.  They are a favorite with fair and festival goers and a must have for any circus presentation.  Tigers are an attraction that will actually draw people to your event, we have been told by the public and committees that it was often the number one reason people attended the event.  Our acts are willing to give interviews to the media before and during your event as well as provide you with photos and video for publicity. 

But we would be remiss if we did mention one more "Tiger" act sure to delight . . .
