The Alberta Circus Arts Festival Open Mic Night is a fun, casual night of circus performances featuring a mix of artists at all stages.

You’ll see emerging performers, professionals trying out new acts, and talented artists who simply need the chance to be seen on stage. Expect a variety of acts, fresh ideas, and a supportive, welcoming atmosphere.

Come out, support local artists, and enjoy an array of unique and exciting performances.

This event uses a Pay-What-You-Can pricing model with a minimum ticket price of $10. You’re welcome to pay more if you’d like to further support the festival and the artists involved. Every contribution helps us continue to create and present.
