About Grand Chapiteau At The Kia Forum
Welcome to Grand Chapiteau at The Kia Forum, the climate-controlled big-top tent set up on the Kia Forum campus at 3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305. This iconic tent hosts touring Cirque du Soleil productions and other special performances in a family-friendly, accessible setting just outside Los Angeles. Whether you’re planning a Cirque show under the tent or attending a larger event inside the adjacent Kia Forum arena bowl, we've got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan the perfect trip.
