Get ready to be wowed at this year’s Stampede Corral show.
The 10 day festival is 34 days away and this year’s ENMAX Corral Show will feature The Peking Acrobats.
The show has sold out crowds at some of North America’s biggest venues and features some of China’s most talented tumblers, gymnasts, and contortionists.
The Peking Acrobats hold the world record for Human Chair Stack, balancing six people on six chairs without safety lines.
Kyle Corner, Stampede Programming and Design Manager, tells 660News they’re excited to have such a world renowned show at the Corral this year.
“Chair stacking is actually the one we’re really excited about. The Peking Acrobats in fact actually hold a Guinness World Record for human chair stack,” explains Corner.
“In addition, there will be some acrobatic performances, some of it is a little bit of a surprise, some of the acts are actually hand picked from China and brought over specifically for this performance.”
The show is free with Stampede gate admission.
There will be two daily Corral Shows at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., with special 10 a.m. shows on July 6th and 9th.
