ollie Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 So this is an old-style carnival just south of Ottawa that's been running all summer. Its last day is tomorrow and me and Christine are thinking of hitting it up. Has anyone been or know anyone who has?http://www.carnivalelunebleue.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 i have friends that went and the answer is a resounding yes, definitely go. i'd have gone but certain things came up that prevented me. apparently it's excellent fun though.

bouche Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 it sounds so trippy. pricey though so I wonder how $40 is justified? Shitty weather for a carnival. Wouldn't the guy on stilts be slipping in the mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic ChrisC Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well, we're going, so it better be trippy. We got the $60 tickets which includes the Cirque Maroc show. Yeah, a bit pricey but a ride on the old ferris wheel might be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 So this ended up being a lot of fun. We spent 5 hours there and it flew by.The shows were all good, ranging from campy to polished with the amazing acrobatics of the Cirque Maroc. The video above is a pretty good coles notes version of the 70 minute show.Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take any photos under the Maroc tent but everything else was fair game. You should be able to see my photos here:http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=69835&l=2ba41&id=607020972We even had a high end meal at the outdoor restaurant they had on-site. I had a killer beef tenderloin.All in all a really different evening that I enjoyed way more than I expected. Too bad I didn't check it out sooner as a recommendation is pretty useless at this point but if it comes around again, don't let the price tag scare you off -- it was money well spent!
