An afternoon at the Toronto International Circus Festival

Last weekend we had a spur of the moment trip to the Harbourfront. The Toronto International Circus was on and while we only stayed a few hours, we all had a great time. We got some cotton candies (already would have made my day even without the show!), churros and drinks and we watched some magic acts. 

There were buskers and various booths were set up with sampling, face painting, and crafts.


 Simultaneously there was a Woofjocks event at Pawsway, but as it coincided with one of the magic shows, we missed it. My girls would have enjoyed watching the many dog tricks they had in store.
There were canoe and paddleboat rentals at the Natrel pond and various foods of the world were sold at the concession stands. Coffee was also available courtesy of the big McDonald’s truck handing out blacks, regulars and double-doubles.

We caught the last show of the Zero Gravity circus and it was amazing! From the acrobats to the hula-hooper-contortionist act (a Canada’s got Talent finalist, we were told!), we all watched in awe at their performance.


For 45-minutes, the girls oohed and ahhed and clapped with delight. Funny skits, wonderful acts, yummy food--it was well worth the trip downtown!
