World class performers from all over the world will grace and amaze downtown Ottawa with award-winning shows perfected after many years of training and practicing in blood, sweat and smiles (no tears here)! Brought to you by Sparks Street, a volunteer board, government support, and on-site sponsors. Prepare to be enthralled by fire-breathers, contortionists, acrobats and more. Get ready for stomach clenching comedy too, these performers all know how to make an audience laugh.
