Kinetic Arts Center invites you to a celebration of Bay Area Circus. Summer Circus Celebration is three days of workshops and performances featuring circus professionals from around the SF/Oakland Bay Area and beyond.
This annual event strives to connect and celebrate diverse circus communities.
(Revised Dates)
SAVE THE DATE – August 13 – 16, 2026
Recently, we learned that the San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival had to schedule their event on the same dates as our planned 2026 dates (Aug 7 – 9). After exploring several options, we have decided to move the Summer Circus Celebration 2026 to the following weekend — Aug 13 – 16, 2026. The positive outcome of this change is we can easily expand our schedule and offer more workshops, more performance opportunities and more circus!
Submit your workshop and/or performance ideas after Feb 1 here for the chance to participate in the new, expanded version of the Summer Circus Celebration 2026.
