The Third Annual St. John’s International CircusFest takes place September 25-27, 2020. Traditionally, the Festival occurs in coastal St John’s, situated in Newfoundland, Canada. This year it will be a melange of in person/live shows and digital gatherings hosted by Wonderbolt Circus–but they are invested in keeping you connected to their unique place in the world and to providing a mapped procession as well as virtual buddy walks through the town during the Festival. There will be online industry panels, keynote speakers and workshops open to the public for those who would like to delve into Canadian circus, and pop up shows in the town itself.

Festival founder Anahereo Doelle has kept the Festival free and open to the public this year for a reason, stating “I wanted the festival to be accessible and to create an opportunity to all come together, even if it’s virtually. I wanted to create a platform where we can all be gather through panels, workshops and keynote speakers and celebrate all things circus.” Visit CircusTalk News each day of the Festival (September 25th-27th) for updates and videos. —The Line-up The program of the virtual festival is available on St. John’s International CircusFest website and here on CircusTalk.  Friday, September 25th...
