Mid-September gets to be a circus (actually two circuses) in the Crescent City, plus a whole lot of smaller festivals that celebrate the city and the cultures that blend together burst onto the scene as cooler temperatures seem to be a distant thought. But let the good times roll and head out for a good time, a good tune and a good bite to eat.

It's a bug's life when CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: OVO runs at the Smoothie King Center Friday through Sunday. The unique production, a mashup of musical, performance, acrobats and lighting effects will look at the diverse world of insects leading to a dazzling finale. The show runs at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 3 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $57. Get information on tickets here.
