What is World Circus Day?

World Circus Day is the international day of circus arts celebration. It is an opportunity to raise public awareness, share the wonders of this magical world, and attract supporters and circus lovers by creating unforgettable moments of happiness.

Established in 2010 by H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco to “publicize the role of circus as part of our shared cultural heritage,” World Circus Day is held each year with hundreds of circuses around the world participating in the celebration.

Circus Juventas participates in World Circus Day to remind our students that circus is performed all over the world and to keep us connected to the larger circus community.

Circus Juventas celebrated World Circus Day by kicking off our 25th anniversary year and throwing a big-top party of epic proportions.

Circus Juventas commemorated World Circus Day and the 250th anniversary of the first day of circus with cake, pictures, and fun as we transitioned the building from class to show mode, officially getting ready for spring and summer in the big top.
2017
Circus Juventas launched our #IAmCircusJuventas social media campaign, celebrating the magic of circus with fun props, equipment, and a CJ photo booth. In addition, CJ students performed a pre-show with hip-hop artist Dessa, the Minnesota Orchestra, and DJ Ander Other, highlighting CJ’s focus on cross-discipline collaboration and spreading the art of circus.
