🎪 Introducing the UpDown Circus Festival – A New Celebration for Cork!
This September, Cork City will spring to life with colour, creativity, and incredible talent as we welcome the very first UpDown Circus Festival (Sept 1–7, 2025).
Over the course of a week, international artists and local performers will transform our streets, venues, and public spaces with shows, workshops, and free outdoor performances.
✨ Festival Highlights include:
-
Runners – a spectacular juggling show at Dance Cork Firkin Crane.
-
Douglas Street Autumn Fest – family-friendly fun in the heart of the city.
-
INSIDE/OUT Panel Discussion at The Everyman – a free event exploring the world of circus and street arts.
With many free and family-friendly events alongside ticketed performances, the festival is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible. Whether you’re a lifelong circus fan or just curious to try something new, there’s truly something for everyone.
📖 You can explore the full programme in the Programme and we’d love if you could help us spread the word by sharing it with your members, friends, and networks.
We look forward to welcoming you at the UpDown Circus Festival 2025 – let’s celebrate circus and street arts together!
