Mesmerizing performances
Throughout the night, Le Cirque de la Nuit, Western Canada’s leading circus, will captivate guests with their innovative, immersive, and multi-dimensional performances. From roving acts to aerial gigs, expect to be in awe from the moment you enter the Park’s famous gates.
There will also be live music and a dance party over at the Didsbury Bandstand, as well as a Grand Finale event to close the night. This finale consists of a jaw-dropping stage show by Le Cirque de la Nuit that’s sure to leave you breathless.
Nostalgic carnival food
From the irresistible aroma of buttered popcorn to the sizzle of corndogs and the sweet taste of cotton candy, carnival-style food never fails to conjure up a sense of nostalgia. Carnivàle will be full of gourmet treats and imaginative drinks for you to indulge in.
With a general ticket, you’ll get a free alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage along with a delicious bag of popcorn. You’ll also get exclusive access to the secret world of the Carnivàle speakeasy.
Retro rides and games
When it comes to amusements, there will be so much to enjoy, including thrilling antique midway rides like a Ferris wheel and a carrousel, as well as retro carnival games.
You can even get a glimpse into your future with a visit to a fortune teller, ink yourself up for the evening with temporary tattoos, or strike a pose and snap some memories at the photo booth. Let the endless fun carry you away!
The Ringmaster’s Club
