Clearly inspired by “Cirque du Soleil,” Cirque du Sixth draws from the artistic production’s brilliant colors and compelling beauty. “We hope to take students into this imaginary world that they can only live for one night,” Sixth College Special Events Director Thomas Le said.

Despite it being called “Cirque du Sixth,” the event is open to all colleges. Held on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 8 p.m. to midnight, this event will be at the Naval Training Center Promenade, located in the historic Liberty Station of San Diego. This occasion can be an opportunity to party with your friends in style, or a night of spectacular food and entertainment for a mere $11.

Themed beverages and desserts, which include lemon meringue pie and chocolate mousse cake from The French Gourmet catering company, will be provided. Guests will also have access to a complimentary photo booth to snap mementos and beats will be provided by DJ Philly, Sun God’s 2011 Battle of the Bands winner. Best of all, this cirque-themed affair will be complete with circus performers, such as sword swallowers and contortionists.

Dressing up according to the theme of the event is highly encouraged, so take this as an opportunity to transform yourself into character by putting on your best circus outfit or getting creative with your makeup. The cirque is an extravaganza that displays art in the grandest of schemes. Tickets are still on sale, and free transportation will be provided to and from the venue if needed. Cirque du Sixth has all the amenities to replicate the joviality of a circus — so let yourself be transported to the majestic world of the cirque.
