Cirque Italia – Platinum Show Coming to Winnipeg (August 8–18, 2025)

For anyone looking for something fun and a little different this August, Cirque Italia is bringing its Platinum show to St. Vital Centre from August 8–18, 2025 — and it looks seriously impressive. It’s all happening inside a climate-controlled tent (no worries about the weather), and the main attraction is this amazing dynamic water stage that really sets it apart from other circus shows.

🎪 What to Expect

The show mixes traditional circus acts with this unique water setup, and from what people are saying, it’s a wild ride — think high-flying stunts, incredible acrobatics, and a ton of talent. The water element adds this cool, almost magical vibe to everything. It’s super family-friendly and looks like something both kids and adults would love.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 There’s a Promo Deal Too

Here’s a nice bonus — if booking online, ONE FREE CHILD ticket comes with every paid adult in Levels 2 and 3. Just use the code FACEFREE when buying tickets. Makes it a lot more doable for families wanting a fun night out without spending a ton.

💧 The Water Stage Is a Whole Experience

The stage actually has water built into it, so everything from aerial acts to comedy and contortion is done with lights, music, and splashing effects that make it feel like a full-on experience. It’s not something you see every day, especially in Winnipeg.

📍 Quick Details

  • Where: St. Vital Centre, Winnipeg, MB
  • When: August 8–18, 2025
  • Tickets: Available online at cirqueitalia.com — use promo code FACEFREE for the free child ticket deal

It’s the kind of event that doesn’t come around often, and it sounds like a really cool option for anyone wanting something out of the ordinary this summer — especially if you’ve got kids or just love a good show.
