FAIRS & FESTIVALS | The first official U.S. water circus

This weekend, come enjoy Cirque Italia, a unique Italian circus experience featuring talented performers from all over the world. The show will be performed six times across three days this Friday through Sunday in the southeast parking lot of White Oaks Mall, under the swirling red white and blue tent. Now in its third year, Cirque Italia is an animal-free show that uses a 35,000 gallon water tank as the main stage, plus glistening curtains of rain, and fountains. You’ll enjoy musical clowns, an upside down performer singing Andrea Botticelli, the laser man act, twin sailors on dual aerial rings, a mermaid, acrobatic poles, high-energy juggling, and so much more. A free child’s ticket is included with purchase of every adult ticket in levels 2 and 3. Tickets can be purchased for $20 through the website, http://cirqueitalia. com, by calling 904-704-8572, or by visiting the on-site box office, which will be open on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
