Cirque du Soleil's KOOZA is Coming to San Jose This Spring
The production will run from April 18 through May 26.
The iconic Cirque du Soleil Big Top has returned to San Jose for the first time since 2019.

From April 18 through May 26, Bay Area audiences will be able to take a seat and experience in its most exciting form high-flying acrobatics, whimsical characters, lavish costuming, colorful sets, hilarious clowning, and a powerful live score. Tickets for all performances are still available at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza.
