Whether you're an artist looking to compete, a sponsor interested in partnering, or a member of the press — we'd love to hear from you.
American CircusFest is a non-profit organisation. Our purpose is to promote excellence in the performance and education of circus arts by producing an annual circus festival to stimulate community appreciation and interest in circus arts.
We sponsor and operate an annual circus festival with competition judged by a panel of qualified judges for emerging circus artists to acquire professional performance experience and international exposure to obtain work; and sponsor a symposium on education and performance of circus arts.
