Festival Circolo
The Circolo Festival is a major contemporary circus festival in the Netherlands, offering audiences a diverse programme that includes both family-friendly shows and experimental performances. The festival provides a platform for emerging Dutch talents as well as international companies.
Every two years in autumn, Circolo’s big tops take over Spoorpark in Tilburg. For ten days, audiences are invited to experience both short and full-length performances, staged under grand marquees or in more intimate spaces. The festival also features workshops, activities for children, and attractions from the world of fairground arts.
Since 2023, Circolo has partnered with Buro Piket to open and refurbish a former chapel into a dedicated residency space with specialised facilities for circus artists. The Cirkus Kapel is located in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
