Indianapolis weekend events: Cirque du Soleil, Haywood Banks, orchestral breakdancing and more
Cirque du Soleil's high-flying circus spectacle is skating through Fishers Event Center this weekend.
What's happening: Cirque du Soleil CRYSTAL is putting on four shows at Hamilton County's new 7,500-seat venue.
The concept puts the awe-inspiring acrobatics the brand is known for on ice while telling a story of self-discovery.
It adapts seven traditional circus acts for the skating rink.
Since its creation in 2017, CRYSTAL has toured more than 145 cities in 23 countries.
Fun fact: CRYSTAL is the first Cirque du Soleil production that uses real snow, and the team makes about 300 snowballs each week.
If you go: Shows start at 7pm Friday; 3pm and 7pm Saturday; and 1pm Sunday.
Tickets start at $55.
