Circus & Aerial Acts in Toronto & the GTA: prices and how to compare

Circus acts are the GTA's go-to spectacle for galas, product launches and festivals, and the category where room specs matter most. Aerial silks need 6–7 m of clear height and certified rigging or a free-standing rig; lyra 5–6 m; Cyr wheel needs no height but a 6 m hard-floor circle; stilt walkers need 3.5 m and no low doorways.

Read ceiling height for aerialists before booking, and check each profile's technical requirements. Fire acts are outdoor or venue-approved only; LED versions need no permit.
