We are “flying high” over Cirque Italia presenting their Water Circus Gold show at Concord Mills (parking lot near AMC Concord Mills 24) from March 16-19th.
✨⏳ Attendees will travel back to the 1950...to an era of sock hops, drive-in theaters, muscle cars, and poodle skirts in this new 2023 show. The stage holds 35,000 gallons of water that performers dazzle over while thrilling the audience with every move. With this unique feature under the tent, guests will be surprised, for it’s a show of its own!
- Cirque Italia was created in 2012 by Italian entrepreneur, Manuel Rebecchi and has advanced into one of the most innovative traveling shows in the U.S.
Get a sneak preview of what’s to come in their 2021 promo video.

The “Collecting the Great War” exhibit features over 200 World War I items collected and donated by Dave Goff (pictured above) and supplemented by items from the ECHS permanent collection.
Editor’s Note: There is so much new happening in Cabarrus County, but we are also a community that treasures history. Dave Goff was a special friend of ours here at Cabarrus Weekly and we can't wait to spend time with these items he collected over the course of his lifetime at this exhibit, and we encourage you to take a Saturday afternoon to do the same.
The Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society Museum had been closed for approximately 10 weeks to allow volunteers time to update displays and install this new exhibit for 2023.
- The museum is open to the public on Saturdays from 10am to 3pm and always offers free admission but appreciates donations.
Goff, who passed away in June of 2022, was an active and well-known figure in Cabarrus County. He was also an avid collector of World War I artifacts, especially those relating to cavalry. His very generous donation comprises the majority of the exhibit.
His wife Gina shared, “It was Dave’s great privilege to offer his collection of WWI era Cavalry equipment and accouterments to the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society. Over a 10–15 year period during the 1980s and early '90s, Dave amassed the collection in the exhibit from military collectors as far away as Missoula, Montana, and from individuals, antique stores, and flea markets locally and across the country.”
Visit our website to learn more about Goff, his passion for collecting and our community, and the history behind the ECHS Museum.
