From September 16 to 20, the Spoorpark in Tilburg will once again transform into the vibrant festival heart of Festival Circolo. For ten days the largest circus festival in the Netherlands presents contemporary circus at top level.

For five days, the Spoorpark transforms into a stage for contemporary circus. During Festival Circolo, you’ll see international artists combining acrobatics, theater, dance, and humor in surprising performances. From spectacular acts to small, unique stories: the circus here is just a little different from what you might be used to.

Everything and everyone

The festival grounds feature several circus tents, food trucks, and play areas for young visitors. Even without a ticket, you can experience the atmosphere of Circolo: free performances are held daily on the outdoor stage. The festival is for all ages and showcases just how versatile and surprisingly modern circus can be. Check out the program and discover which show is right for you.

I want to go here!
