Circo Osorio Circus in Victoria in 2026
Circo Osorio Circus is a circus company that tours all over North America. Full of international talent, the group of performers puts on shows in the United States and Canada each year. In 2026 their “Run Away to the Circus” visits Victoria from September 17th to 27th. The shows take place in a Big Top outside Mayfair Shopping Centre at 3147 Douglas Street.
The circus always puts on loud and thrilling shows with a Latin flavour. They are lots of fun and kids love it! Exotic animals aren’t involved in any of the acts. Instead, the shows are full of talented acrobats and other traditional types of circus performers. You can expect to see the Wheel of Destiny, a clown/children’s comedian, acrobats doing flips, motorcycles doing tricks in a steel globe, and other amazing acts. Every year it’s different. These, however, are examples of what will likely be there.
The family-friendly shows take place in a huge tent and run for about an hour and a half with a short intermission. There’s a concession area selling snacks and drinks, as well as a souvenir stand with balloons, light-up toys and more.
It’s a family-friendly circus, and very reasonably priced (especially if you buy your tickets online, in which case you can get one free child’s ticket for every paying adult). Young children love the shows!

Circo Osorio Circus Video
The following video shows scenes from the circus when it visited Victoria in October of 2023. There was an impressive variety of acrobatics and stunts to enjoy. The show was very entertaining!
Cirque du Soleil in Victoria
In 2025 Cirque du Soleil was in Victoria with their 42nd creation, CRYSTAL. The show combined ice skating and acrobatics to create a visual spectacle. The storyline followed Crystal, who felt lost and unsure of herself. After falling through a hole in a frozen pond, Crystal met a reflection of herself that guided her through the reflection world and encouraged her to find her identity through creativity before returning to reality.
We saw the show on opening night in 2025 and were so impressed by the acts in it. As the show was on ice, there was a whole other dimension added to it. The production featured classic acts such as trapeze, aerial silks, tumbling, juggling and more, along with ice skating dances.
2025 Cirque du Soleil Schedule & Prices
CRYSTAL ran from May 8th to 18th in 2025 at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Admission costs were based on where your seats were and the day and time of the show. Ticket prices for the 2025 show were the following:
- Adult: $65 – $160
- Child (ages 2-12): $55 – $130
Special deals were available if you were a family (4+ people) or you were going in a group of 10 or more people.
