School’s almost out for the summer. Looking for things to do over the summer to keep your family entertained and busy? Here is just the activity/event you may be looking for. The Royal Canadian International Circus (RCIC) is returning to Ontario with 6 stops throughout the GTA. There will be shows in Etobicoke, Pickering, Brampton, Scarborough, Mississauga, and Burlington from June 29 thru August 27 with an all-new show under the Big Top.

The 2023 all-new spectacular show is better than ever. It is jam-packed with explosive live entertainment featuring artists from all over the world who will entertain you for a spellbound experience with high-flying acrobatics, death-defying tricks, clowning and towering feats of strength, teetering towers of balanced bodies, extreme bending and devilishly precarious aerials. RCIC’S 2023 all-new show is a whole-family event that everyone can enjoy regardless of their age.

The circus tickets can be purchased online through our secure portal, including VIP seating and Plush Ringside seats. Circus tickets can also be bought in person; however, this would be on the condition that the show has not been previously sold out by online ticket sales. The Big Top box office is open on all show dates between 10:00 am and 08:00 pm.
