Alberta Circus Arts Festival

The mission of the Alberta Circus Arts Festival is to create a regional and national voice in contemporary Canadian circus.  We are committed to sharing and experiencing world-class circus with our community in order to provide a launch pad for creativity, technical virtuosity, and collaborations.  We seek to inspire, educate and entertain.

The Alberta Circus Arts Festival is produced by Annie Dugan, Artistic Director of Firefly Theatre and Circus.  Alberta’s award-winning aerial performance company has been creating original works that combine circus and theatre since 2001.  The Festival headquarters and main performance venue is La Cité Francophone in Edmonton, Alberta, the perfect location to experience circus arts in a powerful and intimate way.  As we are a new festival, we are looking for Canadian performances and western Canadian artists to showcase.  Eventually we plan to include international acts.  Interested companies and performers can email Stephanie at [email protected].
