Perched on the top eastern corner of the North American Continent, the lively town of St. John’s will host its first ever circus festival aptly titled St. John’s International Circus Festival in September, 2018. The festival will feature national and international circus performers and troupes, and will offer a multitude of performances, workshops, and professional development sessions. The small but impressive line-up includes four shows; 7 Fingers Patinoire, the NSO and (ENC) National Circus School Show, Edge of the World Cabaret, and Fidget Feet from Ireland.

St. John’s International Circus Festival roots are with Newfoundland’s Wonderbolt Circus. The Wonderbolt Circus is a non-profit, charitable organization that showcases local and international circus talent, contributing to Newfoundland’s vibrant arts community, as well as offering positions in circus camps to underprivileged youth, working with both hearing and sight impaired youth, as also working with native communities throughout Labrador.
