2nd Annual Circus Festival

Come experience the spectacle!


Artists converge from all over the world to celebrate the magic of contemporary circus! 


San Diego Circus Festival is a festival of knowledge where artists make connections, elevate their careers, and celebrate the magic of circus!  


Over four exciting days, artists showcase creations and perform in front of a live audience, and learn invaluable career and act development from industry professionals in Artist Pathways. 


Each act is evaluated by industry professionals. OPENING SHOW from San Diego Circus Center’s “Artist in Residency and Master Youth Intensive” project kicks things off with a themed base show "SeeME•HearME•KnowME", followed by three more show nights: Student, Emerging Pro, and the Professional Finale and Awards Ceremony closes the Festival with provocative performances and celebration!

The Artist Pathway: A course with a wealth of knowledge from the lens of industry professional Stacy Clark. Most festivals offer workshops from a discipline point of view and our festival will focus on another aspect of the industry that is extremely beneficial to the artist. The Artist Pathway focuses on Career Development and Act Development.
