The story

Re Riga Circus Festival in Riga

RE RIGA! is an international contemporary-circus and street-arts festival held every August in Riga since 2013, now one of the most significant events of its kind in the Baltics. Organized by Rīgas cirks with Pievilcīga pilsētvides biedrība, it brings together more than 70 artists from 14 countries and draws over 25,000 visitors, with the 2026 edition scheduled for August 12-16.

Circus, in the popular imagination, still means a tent, a ringmaster and a fixed set of acts.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

RE RIGA! earned a place in Riga's official European Capital of Culture programme in 2014, just a year after its founding, and has kept building on that early recognition ever since

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than staying inside conventional theatre spaces, the festival takes contemporary circus and street arts into public settings across the city, using unconventional venues and open-air locations to draw in passersby as much as ticket holders

03

The city starts moving

Scale is part of its identity: recent editions have brought more than 70 artists from 14 countries to Riga and drawn upward of 25,000 visitors over the festival's run

04

The water draws everyone in

Organized by Rīgas cirks together with Pievilcīga pilsētvides biedrība, RE RIGA! has become a reliable showcase for acrobatics, aerial work and physical performance that sits well outside traditional circus-tent expectations
