In Transit! |
Transfer to Montréal
Since we've announced our dual city itinerary, many have asked
how CirqueCon was going to move from city to city, and unfortunately
we have determined that, due to the costs and logistics involved,
we will be unable to provide transfer transportation between
New York City and Montréal (or back). But there are many
options avaiable, including carpooling with your fellow CirqueCon
Passionate, flying directly, AMTRAK train, and/or Trailways Bus.
Make the trek because we're transferring our event flag to Montréal
for the remainder of our time. There's more Cirquein' to do!

| Evening |
Vieux Port Montréal --
Grand Chapiteau |
ONE DROP Benefit Party (Separate)
Passionates interested in helping out the environment while at the
same time rubbing elboes with some of Cirque du Soleil's elite may
have elected to attend LA SOIRÉE ONE DROP, a benefit show
and party benefiting Guy Laliberte's ONE DROP foundation,
which is being held the evening of Friday, April 30th.
The event will be sure to awaken your senses and
captivate your imagination. For this event, Cirque
recommends "Cirque Chic" reflecting the casual style,
creative spirit and festive atmosphere of Cirque
du Soleil. If you're one of the few who paid $750 to $900 to attend
you won't want to miss it!

Vieux Port Montréal --
Hotel (Marriott SpringHill Suites) |
CirqueCon "Welcome to Montréal" Cocktail Party
Can't afford to attend the One-Drop benefit party? Don't fret - although it
is an interesting prospect, neither can we! Therefore, now that we're in
Montréal - with TOUR 2010 dark to the public tonight - we'd love to see
you! CirqueCon is holding a "Welcome to Montréal" Cocktail Party out of our
joining hotel suites at the Marriott Spring Hill to welcome all Passionates
to our second home - among the quays of the Old Port. Please come mix and mingle!

Cirque du Soleil, having heard that CirqueCon is coming to town, is

be great! Make sure you keep your calendar clear!

Vieux Port Montréal -- Restaurant du Vieux Port |

GROUP MEAL TICKET REQUIRED
One of the highlights of CirqueCon is when Cirque fans
gather at a local eating establishment, enjoying a meal and
getting acquainted (or re-acquainted) with each other. Passionates
who joined us for CirqueCon 2005 may remember
the Restaurant du Vieux Port, a wonderful historical
restaurant situated in the heart of the Old Port of Montréal
and just a few moments walk to/from the Grand Chapiteau
