Helsinki Circus Festival

Helsinki Circus Festival, taking place for the first time in September 2026, is a full-on celebration of Finnish circus! Over four festival days, audiences will experience 13 circus performances spanning a wide range of styles — from street circus and performance art to tent circus, comedy, contemporary circus, new magic, and shows for children. The festival presents Finnish contemporary circus as a rich and diverse art form.

At the heart of this artist-driven festival is the Finnish circus community. The event is organised by Pro Sirkus ry, an association founded by Finnish contemporary circus groups and artists, together with Cirko – Centre for New Circus and cultural centres Stoa and Caisa. In addition to these performance venues circus will also take place in a big top tent in the middle of Suvilahti, and also in the surrounding street areas.
