It’s a real delight to see the big top back at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds for the first time since 2019.

A band jazzes it up outside the big top at Cirque du Soleil’s “Kooza,” at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose on Thursday, April 25, 2024. If you’ve driven near the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds recently, you surely noticed Cirque du Soleil’s majestic big top — known as the Grand Chapiteau to fans — has risen in the fairgrounds parking lot.

And fair warning to anyone in an aisle seat close to the stage: You might just get brought onstage for a fun bit as one unsuspecting audience member did Thursday night. By the way, Psycho Donuts has done their bit and provided a new limited edition donut, “The Trickster,” named after one of the show’s characters and available inside the big top. It’s covered with colorful sprinkles and filled with familiar circus flavors including caramel popcorn and pretzels.Michaela “Mikey” Hoag’s quest to bring about a world without Alzheimer’s disease is still going strong.

The self-guided tour showcases five homes in one of San Jose’s most sought-after neighborhoods on May 4 and May 5, including one designated “garden home,” where you can relax with a beverage or enjoy a complimentary wine tasting. Tickets for the tour are $50 — the price goes up on the days of the tour — but it’s also for a great cause: San Jose Day Nursery, which has been providing childcare and education for the downtown area since 1916.
