circus and more
In addition to a rich program, the Berlin Circus Festival has much more to offer. It is always our goal that your visit to the festival is an exciting experience, where you can take the time to dive in, share what you have seen and have a great time. With food and drinks, workshops and concerts and our annually changing art exhibition we offer you an exciting temporary place of culture in the middle of Berlin.

the festival siteFor us, the terrain on the Tempelhof field is more than a mere venue. Since the beginning of the first festival the site has been an oasis in the big city, a place for discovery, joy, exchange and interaction.
With much love to detail, dedication and passion the festival team designs and develops during 10 days a unique festival site, offering us all a place for a unique Berlin Circus Festival. We look forward to bringing this place to life together with you! |
food & drink
For many years Tilo from "Schlesisch Blau" has been delighting guests in his restaurant with culinary delights. With his delicacies, fresh ingredients from the garden and relentless love, he also serves the greatest delicacies for you as a snack or a complete meal.
At the festival's bar, you'll get everything you want on a beautiful summer day/evening on the Tempelhof Field. Have a fresh draft beer, tasty wine or a cold applejuice - we offer everything your heart desires. And of course, there is popcorn - sweet and salty! ;) |

artThe festival is also a platform and exhibition space for sculpting, painting and photography works and more for visual artists. With an exceptional setting, the artists present works on the subjects "Circus, Body and City".
The exhibitions are curated by Luise Rüdiger and Jana Luck. |
concertsOn weekends, before and after the shows, concerts of all kinds take place. Start the evening with soft acoustic sing-songwriter sounds and let your evening be sweetened with groovy and pumping funk & disco inspired beats and soundscapes.
Circus, live music, drinks and all that outside on the Tempelhofer Feld - what more could you want? |

This year's incubator will open with a presentation round of selected international guests and a session titled "Insights into the International Circus Scene". |

We have put together a selection of workshops for beginners and professionals alike. |

As a member of the Federal Association of Contemporary Circus we promote the active development and structural strengthening of the scene and organize a network meeting of the German circus scene. More information soon.
To support the creative process we have different projects: The Berlin Circus Festival is a member of the European network Circus Next, in which it will sustainably support creative processes at European level from 2020, report on the conditions in Germany internationally and establish partnerships.

It is an experimental project to develop alternative funding opportunities and create a digital creative space. |
