Circus and acrobatic festivals in Central Europe

Overview

Various circus and acrobatic events are scheduled for late 2026 in Austria and Germany.

In Austria, Circus Frankello is set to host its ‘It’s Showtime’ program in Seiersberg from October 31 to November 16, featuring acrobatics, music, and animal performances.

In Germany, the European Youth Circus festival is currently being held at the Dern’schen Gelände in Wiesbaden. Since 1998, this biennial event has served as a platform for young artists aged 12 to 25. The 2026 edition, themed ‘Out of the Bubble’, integrates traditional circus arts with urban elements like rap, breaking, and graffiti. From over 150 applicants across 23 European countries, 26 acts were selected, including performers from Ukraine and Russia. The lineup features disciplines such as duo performances and aerial acrobatics on straps.

Additionally, Zirkus Charles Knie is preparing for a residency in Memmingen from October 22 to October 26. The production, ‘SPLASH – Wasser, Show, Emotionen’, utilizes a large portable water arena containing 100,000 liters of water and specialized fountain technology.
