Bring Your Stilts and be Part of the Cirque du Soleil Celebration

Monday June 15, 2009
Five years after setting the first Guinness World Record for the most people simultaneously walking on stilts, Cirque du Soleil is inviting fans from all over the world to join them in reclaiming the title in honor of its 25th anniversary. Cirque du Soleil will be holding stilt walking events in Orlando, Las Vegas, New York, Montréal, Fortaleza, Lisbon, Macau, Nagoya, and Tokyo on June 16, 2009.

To honor this momentous occasion and the roots of Cirque du Soleil, the cast and crew of La Nouba, along with Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, invite the people of Orlando to join in the stilt walk taking place on June 16th, the official date of the 25th anniversary. Registration begins at 3:00 p.m. and the event takes place from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. outside the La Nouba theatre at Downtown Disney. The Mayor will be on hand to proclaim June 16th Cirque du Soleil Day in Orlando.
