Warby Parker's "Citizen's Circus" at SXSW

Following a recent promotion in Miami during Art Basel and a holiday pop-up in New York, hipster eyewear company Warby Parker hit Austin with an experiential stunt dubbed the "Citizen's Circus." On the grounds of the French Legation Museum, the online retailer recreated a 1920s-style carnival where festival-goers could take in music, entertainment, and shop for glasses inside a candy-striped yurt.
