Visitors and residents of Northwest Florida are now able to enjoy an international entertainment attraction unlike any other offered in the region. “Le Grand Cirque,” a highly popular, familyfriendly live entertainment attraction, is entertaining in Grand Boulevard in Destin during the month of June with 26 show dates.

“The show is amazing and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Be prepared to experience a range of performances from thrilling chills to light-hearted humor. You just don’t know what to expect next,” stated Stacey Brady, director of communications for Grand Boulevard, who saw a sneak peek at dress rehearsals on Monday.

“Le Grand Cirque” is a visual feast of breathtaking group acrobatics and whiteknuckle stunts and has been described as “The next generation of Cirque Du Soleil.” Seen by millions of people around the world, this Cirque extravaganza has broken box office records all over the globe, including becoming the biggest ever selling show in the history of the Sydney Opera House, attended by 50,000 people in two and a half weeks.

Featuring more than 40 champion acrobats and performers from Brazil, Canada, Russia, Mongolia, Europe and China, the performers have been hand- picked from

around the world for their amazing abilities and precision skill. The result is a fast-paced, heartpounding spectacle that will astound and keep the audience at the edge of their seats.

This multi-million dollar production is two years in the making, including acts from around the world and the debut of new acts specifically tailored for this market. Howard Group and Grand Boulevard teams worked for months behind the scenes to secure this high-profile addition to the Sandestin area and worked closely with major area business sectors to secure the project for this market.

“We chose Grand Boulevard as our new home because it is perfectly centered in between the markets that we want to attract customers from along the Emerald Coast,” said Simon Painter, producer..

The Grand Arena holds just under 1,100 people and is within short walking distance to seven signature restaurants and casual eateries.

There are evening and matinee shows throughout the week. Evening shows are at 8 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday. Matinees are slated for 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Visit the Web site or call the box office for matinee days, times and ticket prices.

“Le Grand Cirque” provides a spectacular experience to enhance the perfect vacation and is the new must-see attraction for visitors and locals alike in this region.
