Our Mission
The mission of the Alberta Circus Arts Festival is to create a regional and national voice in contemporary Canadian circus. We are committed to sharing and experiencing world-class circus with our community in order to provide a launch pad for creativity, technical virtuosity, and collaborations. We seek to inspire, educate and entertain.
Who Are We?
The Alberta Circus Arts Festival is produced by Annie Dugan, Artistic Director of Firefly Theatre and Circus. Alberta’s award-winning aerial performance company has been creating original works that combine circus and theatre since 2001.
Where’s it Happening?

Shows, workshops, and panels will be announced in the coming months – but save the date now!
