Have you ever been to a water circus? Well, now is your chance, as Cirque Italia brings its “Aquatic Spectacular” to Alpharetta this March.
This is a circus with no animals — and therefore no worries about animal cruelty or exploitation. It’s a European style circus of acrobats, jugglers, contortionists, trapeze artists, high wire acts, trampoline performers, and other talented entertainers who push the boundaries of human abilities.
So where does the water come in?
The show features a custom-designed water stage that holds 35,000 gallons of water. Performers go through their routines on a stage in the center of a sparkling blue pool and amid shooting fountains choreographed to the music. A suspended ring allows water to fall like rain around the high-energy acts.
Cirque Italia will be setting up its signature blue tent in the parking lots around North Point Mall — with performances from March 2 to 5, 2023.

I went to the circus with my middle daughter as a chaperone on her school field trip, several years ago. It was my first time going to a circus in close to 30 years, and I think I enjoyed it more than her, lol! The music was great, it was fun and interactive as they called on spectators in the audience to participate. I still remember the beautiful colorful outfits of the performers. I’d love to see another show and take my now 10 year old and 4 year old, who’s never been.
My daughter loved the elephants but tried to hide from the clowns! We love the circus!
One of my earliest memories is going to the Circus when I was 4. I remember everything from it….and I want my children to have those memories as well.
I have been but not my kids and I know they would absolutely love it!
I have heard about Cirque and always wanted to go… guess this is my chance to bring my daughter – she has never been to a circus before! Thank you, Cirque Italia for the opportunity. This is sure to be memorable for my family 🙂
I always enjoyed the circus when I lived in Chicago. Would love to take my two grandchildren. They would love it.
I have fond memories of going to the circus as a child growing up in NYC. And now with my own children, we have been attending circuses since my oldest child was barely 2 here in Atlanta! This will be another amazing experience to add to our circus memories ❤! And this would be an awesome birthday gift for my son who turns 9 on March 11th!!!
We haven’t been to a circus in a long time. This sounds like fun!
I have lots of fond memories going to the circus with my family as a kid – excited to take my kids to their first show!
I saw “O” in Vegas seven years ago and it was amazing! Would love to take my daughter to this one!
Would love to go!
I remember going as a child and being amazed by the high wire and acrobatics. I usually enjoyed eating candy apples and cotton candy during the show.
Cirque is the best, can’t wait to see this one!
I’ve never been to the circus before but I’d truly love to take my boys. I know they’ll enjoy it! Elephants are our favorite. Can’t wait to see them.
My father took me to the circus in Las Vegas as a teenager and I was blown away. I never expected such magic. The lights, water and talented artists. Ever since, I have been dreaming to take my own son to a Cirque show, and Cirque Italia looks amazing!
The artistry of the performers, costume and set design, and, of course, the popcorn are all fond memories of the modern circuses I’ve enjoyed over the last several years! Thank you for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
I recall going to the circus when I was a child with my sis & parents. Last time my neighbor friend took my youngest sis & bro. Good neighbor! I would SO love to win, my bday is March 3 and this would be Amazing!! Thanks for considering me! 💜
