The Holiday Village Mall is hosting a new event that in my honest opinion seems like a last ditch effort to drum up some cash.

On October 3rd through the 6th the Cirque Italia will be hosting a Water Circus in the Holiday Village Mall parking lot. The cost for tickets range anywhere from $15 to $60.

Their Facebook page boasts, "Come check out our amazing dynamic water stage that is unlike anything you have ever seen before! It's a beautiful combination of death defying circus acts, with the atmosphere of our water stage!"

The company also hosts other kinds of cirque events such as a "gold" and "silver" option as well as a "paranormal" tent which I will say looks intriguing.

While this event does look like it could bring in a large crowd they are giving quite a few tickets away for free to draw parents in with their kids.

Why Is This Event At The Holiday Village Mall?

When there is an even larger event space and parking lot at the Fairgrounds I am curious as to why this event is being held at the mall, but can speculate the owners of the mall are looking for something to grab some extra money to be able to survive a while longer.
