Big Top Time: The circus has come to Edmonton & here’s what to know about it

If you’ve been anywhere near West Ed lately, you might have noticed the giant big top just chilling outside of it. That’s right, the circus has come to Edmonton, and you’ve still got time to check out the show! Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect if you do.

It’s actually the Royal Canadian International Circus that has stopped by, as part of a nationwide tour this summer. They’re promising a whole swack of incredible acts, including “high-flying acrobatics, death-defying tricks, towering feats of strength, teetering towers of balanced bodies, extreme bending and devilishly precarious aerials.” Yeah, sounds pretty amazing to us.

Shows run daily, with matinee options on the weekends as well! And here’s a fun little bonus- if you book using the code “WEM”, you’ll get a 2 for 1 deal on General Admission tickets. A fun night out, and essentially at half price? We can absolutely get behind that.

The shows kicked off last week, but don’t worry, you’ve got until the 19th to check this out! So, if you’re looking for a little lighthearted fun over the next week or so, make sure to keep this option in mind.

Royal Canadian International Circus
