Sensational circus acts throughout the city

City Circus Festival

At the beginning of May, the city centre transforms into a big, open circus. For five days, you can enjoy different performances and individual acts for all ages. If the spectacular circus acts get your blood pumping, why not give it a try for yourself? Join one of the many workshops, such as flying, balancing and juggling. In the evening you can visit top international performances in theatres such as Theatre Rotterdam and the Old LuxorTheatre.
