Alberta Circus Arts Festival

Enjoy four days of contemporary circus performances from Canada and around the world, along with a myriad of activities for everyone! You can watch a show from New Zealand or Sweden – you can learn to juggle or walk on stilts – or just come out to our Circus Happy Hour and mingle with performers from coast to coast. It doesn’t matter if you are young, or simply young at heart, there's something for everyone at the Alberta Circus Arts Festival!

The ACAF is hosted by Firefly Theatre and Circus, Alberta’s award-winning aerial performance company, creating original, high-flying work since 2001. The Festival is anchored in Edmonton’s French Quarter, with the main performance venue in La Cité Francophone. Local audiences will be treated to a world-class contemporary circus on an intimate scale!
