Bringing holiday spectacle home: a backyard take on touring shows like Cirque Dreams Holidaze

Cirque Dreams Holidaze is a touring holiday production that blends circus acrobatics, costumes and seasonal music, and it has visited theatres across the United States in past winter seasons. The tour described in the original announcement has already run, so anyone hoping to see the show should check the official Cirque Dreams channels for current dates and venues rather than relying on older listings. What lasts beyond any single tour is the idea behind it: a shared, theatrical evening that families plan around and remember.

In Los Angeles, December evenings are usually mild enough to borrow some of that spirit outdoors. A garden holiday night does not need aerialists to feel special. It needs a little staging, good light and a comfortable place to sit.

Staging a seasonal evening in the garden

  • Light in layers. Warm string lights overhead, a few lanterns at path level and a soft uplight on one tree create depth, much as stage lighting does. Our notes on garden lighting cover placement and colour temperature.
  • Screen a performance film. Many circus and holiday concert films are available to stream or buy. A projector and a simple screen turn a lawn into a small theatre. Start with our backyard cinema guide.
  • Plan for the cold after sunset. Temperatures drop quickly once the sun goes down. Have blankets ready, and if you use patio heaters, keep them well clear of fabric screens and decorations.
  • Keep safety in mind. Even professional venues have had to cope with curtain fires. Use outdoor-rated cords, avoid open flames near drapes or screens, and keep walkways free of cables.

If you go to a live show

Touring productions often sell out on weekends close to the holidays. Buy tickets only through the venue or the official tour site, arrive early for parking, and check the venue's bag and age policies before you leave. Afterwards, the photos and programmes make good material for a family archive. See our tips on archiving to keep those memories in good order.
