The story

Festival de Circo de Chile in Santiago

Festival de Circo de Chile brings traditional big-top circus together with contemporary, street-oriented circus arts across Santiago-area venues, part of a wider circus infrastructure anchored by the Fundacion Circo Nacional Chileno. Santiago's circus calendar includes several related but distinct festivals in the same season, so confirming the specific edition and venue matters before visiting.

Santiago's circus scene has built a specific festival around uniting two traditions that do not always share a stage: traditional big-top circus and contemporary, street-oriented circus arts.
