If you’re on I-25 near Elitch Gardens or Ball Arena anytime soon you’ll notice a giant blue and white circus tent setup in the parking lot. So, what is it?

Turns out it’s actually exactly that… A circus tent!

One of Cirque du Soleil’s biggest touring productions is back in Colorado. Cirque du Soleil’s “Echo” is taking over the parking lot of Ball Arena. The production opens Saturday (July 12) and will perform in downtown Denver through Sunday, Aug. 17.

“Echo” is described as a “story of connection, intention, and the symbiotic unions between humans and the animal kingdom. Packed with vibrant characters, inspiring music, astounding lights and projections, and never-before-seen acrobatic feats, ‘Echo’ invites audiences on a journey through a universe of color, wonder, and infinite possibilities.”

Cirque du Soleil’s first original post-pandemic Big Top show, “Echo” has never visited Denver before.

Cirque du Soleil tickets are available at CirqueduSoleil.com/echo.
