The Grand Strand welcomes an authentic European circus experience this spring when Cirque De Paris raises its Big Top at Tanger Outlets Myrtle Beach. This isn’t your typical seaside entertainment — it’s a genuine traveling circus tradition brought to life by the renowned Bouglione family, whose circus heritage spans generations across Europe.

Located at 10835 Kings Road, the intimate 380-seat Big Top creates an atmosphere where every guest feels connected to the performance. The production touring in 2026 is entirely new and has never been seen in the United States, featuring international performers making their North American debuts alongside established circus artists.

Show Dates & Tickets

The Artists Taking Center Ring

Anouchka Bouglione serves as producer, director, and performer, showcasing her signature hula hoop artistry that blends technical precision with theatrical flair. The Supka Family Juggling Troupe makes their North American debut with two distinct juggling acts that demonstrate why they’re celebrated across Europe.

Duo Nava — Jacqueline Itzel Morales and Brandon Carrisosa Nava — premiere a brand new duo straps act created specifically for this tour. Their aerial work combines strength and synchronization in ways that challenge what two performers can achieve together. Anastasiia Maksymchuk brings her aerial hammock silk act to American audiences for the first time, while Ivo Manfredo presents his rola bola balancing act that defies expectations of equilibrium.

Kostiantyn Tsymbal introduces an all-new BMX trial riding act featuring record-breaking front wheel hops that transform the circus ring into an extreme sports arena. The technical directors Reinaldo Monteiro and Noah Bouglione Monteiro create a laser light show that enhances each performance with visual artistry.

Comedy That Crosses Borders

Chico Rico of the United Kingdom brings multicultural clowning that speaks a universal language of laughter, while Pedro ‘Rampin’ Jr. introduces a new French-inspired character filled with charm and physical comedy. These aren’t slapstick routines — they’re thoughtful comic performances that engage audiences of all ages.

What Makes This Circus Unique

Every performer in Cirque De Paris learned their craft through family tradition and apprenticeship rather than formal circus schools. This creates an authenticity you won’t find in contemporary circus productions. The show features no recorded music or singing — the focus remains on pure circus artistry and athletic achievement.

The Big Top environment at Tanger Outlets offers ventilation and fans to keep guests comfortable during the South Carolina spring. Free parking makes arrival simple, and the venue’s location near Highway 17 provides easy access whether you’re staying in North Myrtle Beach or Surfside Beach.

Planning Your Visit to the Big Top

Tanger Outlets Myrtle Beach sits just off Highway 17, making it accessible from anywhere along the Grand Strand. The shopping center offers dining options before or after the show, and the Big Top setup provides clear sightlines from every seat in the 380-person venue.

Shows run from April 16 through April 26, 2026, with multiple performances throughout the run. The intimate setting means tickets move quickly — this isn’t an arena show with thousands of seats. When the Big Top is full, that performance is sold out.

Families visiting Myrtle Beach for spring break will find this a refreshing alternative to beach activities and mini golf. The 90-minute runtime (approximate) keeps younger audience members engaged without overstaying their attention spans. The production balances thrilling acrobatic moments with lighter comedy segments, creating a rhythm that works for diverse audiences.

A Tradition Worth Experiencing

The Bouglione family has presented circus arts across Europe for generations, and Cirque De Paris represents their commitment to preserving authentic circus traditions while pushing artistic boundaries. This 2026 production brings together performers from multiple continents, each contributing their specialized skills to create a cohesive show that honors where circus has been and where it’s going.

Secure your seats while availability lasts. The Big Top at Tanger Outlets Myrtle Beach won’t be here long, and this particular production won’t return — next year brings an entirely different show.
