Cirque du Soleil crée un nouveau spectacle de rue gratuit à Québec
Amour Cirque du Soleil but put off by the sky-high ticket prices? If you’ll be visiting or settling in Québec this summer, you’re in luck.
Canada’s most famous circus company has created a new street performance, Les Chemins Invisibles (Chemins invisibles), that will roam Quebec City’s Lower Town — gratuitement.
Le mercredi au dimanche soir, à partir de Juin 24 à Septembre 6, plus de 100 circus artists, including performers from Quebec City’s circus school, will travel through the city.
They’ll depart from three points in the Saint-Roch neighborhood:
On Rue Saint-Dominique at the corner of Saint-Roch and de la Reine
From the corner of Dupont and Saint-Vallier East
From the corner of Léperon and Saint-Vallier.
The circus crew will end up at ÃŽlot Fleurie, under the Dufferin-Montmorency Highway (Autoroute 440) overpass, for a free show. And while the performances may not match the top-notch caliber of regular Cirque shows, hé, it’s free!
Performances fois varient en fonction de la saison:
De Juin 24 Ã Juillet 26: 9:10 h
De Juillet 29 à Août 23: 9 h
De Août 26 à Septembre 6: 8:30 h.
Contacter tourisme de Québec for more details about this free event.
Lancé au Québec en Juin, 1984, Cirque du Soleil is celebrating its 25th anniversary cette année.

My husband and I saw this show this past Tuesday night at the highway overpass. It was absolutely wonderful – such amazing talent. Only downside was that we had been walking around the city all day and then stood in line for 1 et 1/2 hours to get in – then had to stand through the entire show. Mais ça valait le coup. It was a highlight of our vacation. Thanks to the performers and organizers for a fine evening.
