Local brief
Cirque Italia pitches a big top for North Point Mall’s parking lot
The operator proposes seven acrobatic shows March 5–8, 2027, without animals or rides. City approval has not been verified.
Cirque Italia wants to turn part of North Point Mall’s parking lot into a temporary circus venue March 5–8, 2027, with seven performances beneath a white-and-blue tent.[1]
The application to Alpharetta, Georgia, describes an all-ages show built around human acrobatics—not an animal circus or a carnival with rides. The operator says there would be no animals, rides, alcohol, open flames or pyrotechnics.[1]
The proposed tent measures 132 by 197 feet. The operator’s setup schedule would put crews on site March 2–4, followed by performances over four days and teardown March 9.[1]
The proposed showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 5; 1:30, 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 6; 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 7; and 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 8. The application identifies the location as 1000 North Point Circle.[1]
Those are requested dates, not a confirmed city-approved engagement. The record reviewed is an application; whether Alpharetta has acted on the request has not been verified.[1]
