Would you read the rest of this story?

Eh, ah. It has a good plot, just change some grammar issues. I'd suggest going back and adding more detail, but not too much, else it takes away from the story. Generic. Generic is good, because if your main character is generic, people can connect. But too much and she becomes boring. Even with the description try using different words. "Colorful balloons and banners everywhere" and "posters and balloons hung all over" are similar and "balloons" is used twice. What is Alice thinking as she's led to the tent? Besides terror, that is. Does she realize that it's a circus? With the tents, it's pretty obvious, but describe them. There's more than one kind. But hey, I like the plot line. The word 'circus' gives me creeps.
