June 17 – 20, 2027
In Edmonton’s
French Quarter
The Alberta Circus Arts Festival is back! From June 17-20, aerialists and acrobats will take over Edmonton’s French Quarter, with jaw-dropping performances, gravity-defying acrobatics, and family-friendly fun! Come out and learn to juggle or walk on stilts (free!), mingle on the patio with artists from around the world, and see intimate contemporary circus performances that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s like having Cirque du Soleil in your living room!
