Celebrating its 25th anniversary on 16 June 2009, the world-renowned entertainment troupe Cirque Du Soleil managed to set a record for the most people walking on stilts in multiple venues. By meeting all the minimum requirements, 1,908 successful participants can now proudly call themselves Guinness World Records™ record-holders.
The event was received with much excitement around the world, with a great turnout of participants in Montreal, Moscow, New York, Las Vegas, Orlando, Macau and Brazil. With some of the participants arriving in wonderful costumes, the whole event took on a something of a carnival atmosphere. An official Guinness World Records Adjudicator, Aleksandr Vypirailenko, was present at one of the locations, Moscow, where he witnessed one of the biggest turnouts of the event and was able to confirm the record.
