The water circus will once again be returning outside of Crossroads Mall in Portage this May from Cirque Italia.
The water circus is an experience that over 1 million people have seen since it first began in 2012, and focuses more on human acrobatics than the classical animal-related circus.

The event is slated to take place from May 15 through May 18, and tickets can be purchased here. They are even advertising with the code FACEFREE, allowing one free child per paid adult when you book tickets online.
This is a very unique experience, as their website details:

Join the largest traveling spectacle in the United States and Canada, a universe of extraordinary events that captivate over 1 million happy spectators every year. From the magic of water stages to the thrills of the paranormal, Cirque Italia transforms each city into a celebration of art, emotion, and wonder, redefining entertainment with unforgettable experiences at every stop.

 

So, for those who have never gone and are wondering what is this particular show features, Cirque Italia presents “Aquatic Spectacular.”

The name reflects a unique attribute under the tent, as the show features a custom-designed water stage that travels from city to city. The stage holds 35,000 gallons of water that performers dazzle over while thrilling the audience with every move. With this “unique feature” under the tent, guests will be surprised, for it’s a show of its own!

I find it incredible that people can perform these stunts soaking wet. I feel like I can't even walk to my car when it's raining, so this event will be a fun one to witness.
