Final Cirque du Soleil Shows June 3-7 in Oaks

OAKS PA – Five final opportunities remain to enjoy this year’s Cirque du Soleil big-top show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center.

The entertainment company says its “delightfully imaginative and visually stunning production, Luzia,” is scheduled for June 3-7 (2026; Wednesday through Sunday) in the blue-and-white tents erected at 100 Station Ave. Tickets are available for online purchase.

The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board is among the show’s official partners.

“In a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances,” the company says, “Luzia takes audiences on a surrealistic journey through a vibrant world filled with wonders, playfulness and striking artistry. Smoothly passing from an old movie set, to the ocean, to a smoky dance hall, or an arid desert,” the performance brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico.

Artistic and Acrobatic

In what it labels as “a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production,” Luzia incorporates rain into both acrobatic and artistic scenes. Through its performers, Luzia is said to offer traditional and contemporary circus disciplines:

• Cyr wheel artists perform feats of rolling and spinning under the rain, while an aerialist suspended from a trapeze flies and twirls through pouring showers;
• Hoop diving is taken onto gigantic treadmills, increasing the speed and number of daring leaps;
• Highlights also include a male contortionist twisting his body in a variety of positions, an aerial straps specialist defying gravity, a juggler tossing pins at high speed, and two soccer free-stylers who mix street dances with ball manipulation.

Once the show ends in Oaks, Cirque du Soleil webpages indicate it will take Luzia to Canada. It is scheduled for June 18 to Aug. 30 in Toronto; Sept. 10 to Oct. 18 in Ottawa; and Nov. 4 to Dec. 13 in Vancouver. Earlier U.S. performances were held in Atlanta GA, Miami FL, and Washington DC.
