Hey Wanderers!
We had the chance to check out the Royal Canadian International Circus on opening night, and WOW, it was such a fun experience! We brought my parents along and honestly, it was the perfect outing for all ages. The tent was absolutely packed, the energy was electric, and the performances were nothing short of jaw-dropping.

A Night Full of Wonder (and a Little Bit of Adrenaline)
This year’s show features a seriously talented lineup of world-class performers, including:
Daredevil Pepe on the Double Wheel of Destiny
High-flying trapeze artists
The intense Motorcycle Globe of Death
A 20-foot Rola Bola balancing act
Aerialists, jugglers, trampoline artists, and more
The circus is completely animal-free, focusing on human-only performances, so you can enjoy the magic guilt-free.

A Few Things to Note about the Circus
The show does feature loud music and some strobe lighting, so just something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to that. That said, we didn’t find it too overwhelming, it just added to the excitement.
The crowd was super mixed, from families with little ones to seniors like my parents, so this really is a show that everyone can enjoy.
