(Ticketed Event) Philadelphia Contemporary Circus Festival
Join us for the Philadelphia Contemporary Circus Festival (“PCCF”) running May 23 through June 1 at Cherry Street Pier. This is a ticketed event. All ages are welcome. Rain or shine.
The PCCF is the first of its kind in Philadelphia, presenting artists from the vibrant and growing contemporary circus community and bringing ground-breaking artists from across the nation and beyond to Philadelphia. Full-length shows that blend acrobatics, dance, theater, and storytelling to push the boundaries of performance will be the centerpiece of the programming, with plenty of opportunities to see world-class acts and new experiments as well. At its core, contemporary circus is about defying limitations, reimagining what is possible, and creating breathtaking moments of connection.
The Philadelphia Contemporary Circus Festival is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Tickets will be on sale soon.
