About the Event
Maritime Circus Festival 2023 is coming to Halifax from September 14-17!
This four-day celebration of contemporary circus in the vibrant cultural hub of Halifax, Atlantic Canada’s largest city, will bring together artists from around the Maritimes and across Canada.
This year’s festival will feature performances of the profoundly personal and moving Twist of Fate by Ontario’s Look Up Theatre, currently touring across Canada. There will be an immersive opening gala on Thursday evening featuring food, drink, and surprising performances pushing the boundaries of circus, theatre, and art. The following days will host a number of events including: a spectacular variety show of top circus artists in the gorgeous 450-person sanctuary of St. Matthew’s United Church, a family-friendly free outdoor event, an evening fire performance, social circus panel and discussion hosted by Montreal’s Cirkaskina, and a bawdy, intimate 18+ cabaret featuring local drag, burlesque, and variety artists.
