World-class talent from around the globe is set to take the stage as Las Vegas’ own sixth-generation circus performer, Renato Fernandes, introduces the city’s inaugural International Circus Festival of Las Vegas.
Bringing together exceptional circus performers from 11 countries—including France, Argentina, Tanzania and Mexico, the festival promises to captivate audiences with awe-inspiring acts while artists compete for prestigious awards, cash prizes, and contracts with major production companies like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.
This thrilling event competition will unfold over two weekends: Friday, Nov. 1, through Sunday, Nov. 3, and Thursday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 10. Set beneath a grand circus tent at the Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet (1717 S. Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89102), the festival will kick off nightly starting at 7 p.m., except for Sunday, Nov. 3, when the event begins at 4 p.m.
Attendees will enjoy a variety of thrilling acts including hand balancing, contortion, aerial stunts, Chinese pole, juggling, flying trapeze, unicycling and more. Audience members will also have the unique opportunity to actively participate by voting for their favorite act via a QR code. The performer with the most votes will be honored with the Public’s Choice Award during the highly anticipated Gala Show on Tuesday, Nov. 5, which will begin at 8 p.m. The Gala will showcase finalists from the opening weekend, and the evening will feature a live awards ceremony alongside unforgettable performances.
The competition will intensify as two winners are selected each night from Thursday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 10, based on performances from the opening weekend. With a distinguished panel of experts ranging from top circus industry veterans to live event producers, evaluating the acts, the festival promises to deliver a truly immersive and competitive experience for emerging talent to be discovered and potentially contracted.
