Edmonton's Big Top Event!

Amaluna

In just a month one of this years biggest shows will be coming to Edmonton. On May 29th Cirque Du Soleil will be returning for another show here in Edmonton and this time they are bringing their Big Top with them!

This Cirque program will be running in our city until June 23rd and will be a show you do not want to miss. With a show time of 2 hours 30 minutes (including a 30 minute intermission), Amaluna is an all new production that is sure to impress in the way only Cirque Du Soleil productions can.


Here at Days Inn Downtown Edmonton we are very excited and can hardly wait to find out more. For that reason we peaked at the Cirque website to see just what this show will be about. Here's what we found:
                                        
Amaluna invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon.

Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honours femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next.

In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera’s daughter and a brave young suitor. But theirs is a love that will be put to the test. The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony. 
Sounds like a great story and an amazing experience! 

Don't miss out! Order your tickets today and then look at calling us about your stay in Edmonton. We are only one block away from the LRT's Corona station that will take you directly to the event at Northlands and back for only $6.40!

We know you'll want to be here so call us today and make your reservation.

The Oilers are currently in ninth position in the standings which just puts them outside the playoff spots. But all is not lost just yet. There are still many games to go this month which means there is plenty of opportunity for the Oilers to get back into a playoff position.
