“This year’s star attraction is the amazing Globe Of Death motorcycle daredevils riding in a steel sphere dome with only 10 feet in diameter, “said Leo Osorio, company vice president. “Besides the motorcycle daredevils we have incredible circus acts from Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S.A.”
The show was named after the Osorio family of entertainers who founded this ambitious experience in 1927 in their native Mexico and now are based in Las Vegas, from which they tour Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.
Circo Osorio partners with different local charities to raise funds for their causes. In 2017 they raised more than $10,000 to support recovery from fires and in 2018 they partnered with Access Youth in Coquitlam.
