Booze-fuelled street parties are more profitable than family-friendly festivals - at least in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Tourism Charlottetown booked Cirque Du Soleil for its Canada Day celebrations this year after people complained the event - which is traditionally a huge financial success - was too drunk and rowdy for children and families. But the event that usually covers half the annual costs for Tourism Charlottetown put the organization into debt this year. It's asking the province for a $1-million loan to cover the debt, CBC reports. Tourism Charlottetown is also trying to get out of its three-year, $6-million contract with Cirque du Soleil. "We've realized that the risk and the exposure with that type of event is something that we just can't continue," Tourism Charlottetown president Doug Newson told CBC. "At this point in time we are in negotiations with Cirque to probably get out of the next two years of the contract."
