Galveston, Texas (November 19, 2022) — Internationally-acclaimed talent from France, Russia, South America and beyond will thrill the crowd as Moody Gardens announces an all-new, one-of-a-kind holiday show experience at Lone Star Circus’ “Cirque Joyeux Holiday Show” Dec. 17-30.

 

This original one-hour Christmas spectacular is fun for the entire family and features a cast of international circus and variety performers. Witness the inconceivable feats of acrobats, the amazing artistry of aerialists, endearing antics of four-legged performers Puppy Pals from the TV show America’s Got Talent, the thrill of the spectacular Fire Knife Dance, Chinese Pole and much more. Be up-close and personal with the action-packed lineup of impressive circus performers. Guests will be amazed by the Fire Knife Dancing talents of Naenoa George from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
