TORONTO, ON (*April 18, 2012) – The circus doesn’t just come back to town at Harbourfront Centre, it kicks off our exciting summer festival season! Teaming up with the Zero Gravity Circus, HarbourKIDS celebrates the 10th annual Toronto International Circus Festival with programming fit for the big top.
This year’s key word is whimsy – silliness, capriciousness, fantasy, frivolity and fun: all ways to describe the HarbourKIDS festival experience. It’s a reminder to not take everything so seriously all the time. This Victoria Day weekend, let the circus bring a little whimsy into your life with side-splitting comedy, eye-popping acrobatics, mind-bending daredevils; jugglers, magicians, stilt-walkers and much more!
Full event information is attached. Festival highlights include:
•Zero Gravity Circus’s acrobatic hijinx
•Physical Theatre Workshops with Wonderbolt Circus
•Stand Up Dance’s Family Dance Parties for dancers of all ages
Harbourfront Centre’s summer festival season begins with the Toronto International Circus Festival and ends with HarbourKIDS: Folk on Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 6-8). In between, a series of festivals and events offer The World in One Place, exploring ideas in contemporary culture, bringing together rich, artistic traditions from our own backyards and around the globe. For additional information and complete event listings, the public may visit harbourfrontcentre.com/summer or call the Information Hotline at 416-973-4000. Harbourfront Centre is located at 235 Queens Quay West in the heart of downtown Toronto’s waterfront.
