Under the Big Top - Old Port of Montreal Tickets

Under the Big Top – Old Port of Montreal, QC Tickets 

Discover the Iconic Under the Big Top at the Old Port of Montreal 

Under the Big Top at the Old Port of Montreal is one of the city's most unique and memorable live entertainment destinations. Set against the historic waterfront of Old Montreal, this temporary yet iconic venue is best known as the seasonal home of Cirque du Soleil and other large-scale touring productions. Each year, the massive white-and-blue Big Top rises along the St. Lawrence River, transforming the Old Port into a world-class performance space unlike any traditional theatre or arena. 

Explicitly designed for immersive circus-style and theatrical productions, Under the Big Top delivers an intimate, visually stunning experience that places audiences close to the action. The circular seating layout, advanced lighting, and custom sound design ensure that every seat feels connected to the performance. With a seating capacity typically ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 guests, depending on configuration, the venue balances large-scale spectacle with close-up storytelling. 

Because Under the Big Top hosts limited-run engagements—often for globally acclaimed productions—tickets are frequently in extremely high demand. When you're ready to experience a once-in-a-lifetime performance in Montreal, Box Office Ticket Sales is your trusted source for verified Under the Big Top tickets, helping you secure your seats before availability runs out.
