The Great Christmas Circus ends this Sunday in Toulouse. It will have attracted more than 115,000 spectators this winter, since it took place on November 30 at the Hippodrome de la Cépière.
“It’s a great success, we broke our attendance record in Toulouse,” says Alexandre Edelstein, in charge of press relations at the Grand Cirque de Noël. For the seventh year, the huge red marquee was set up for six weeks in the parking lot of the Hippodrome de la Cépière, attracting more than 115,000 visitors. With around sixty performances offered since the end of November, the Grand Cirque has managed to establish itself as an unmissable show for families during the end-of-year holidays, with a capacity of 1,600 people.

“All the sessions were sold out. We reached the maximum in terms of capacity, with 300 more reservations per day than the previous year. We have become an event in Toulouse, continues Alexandre Edelstein. People book very early, they contact us in October, even before the ticket office is open. The shows are improving in quality, they are sensitive to it.”
The show is completely renewed every year. It is provided by a very cosmopolitan troupe, which includes around thirty artists from all over the world. On the program, trapeze numbers, aerial pole, dance, humor and acrobatics of all kinds, which will amaze young and old. For the six remaining sessions this weekend, there are less than 300 places left, so don’t delay in booking if you don’t want to miss out.
