National Circus Festival

02/04/2026

🎪 Important update from Spaghetti Circus

We’ve made the decision to postpone the National Circus Festival to 2027.

This wasn’t easy 💛
But we want to make sure the Festival comes back strong, bold and sustainable.

✨ 2026 will still be packed with circus:
– Performances
– Cabarets
– Training + intensives
– Community events

2027 Dates
Training Program: Sun 26 – Thurs 30 Sep 2027
Festival Weekend: Fri 1 – Sun 3 Oct 2027

We’re building something even bigger for 2027.

See you in Mullum!
