The Massy International Circus Festival is set to return in 2026: Dates announced for the 32nd edition

As each new year begins, Massy sets up its grand circus tent, bringing the magic of the big top back to life. From January 29 to February 1, 2026, the Massy International Circus Festival makes its return, featuring acts from around the globe and a renewed passion for captivating audiences of all ages.

At Parc Georges-Brassens, the setup is perfectly tuned: a vast marquee without a central pole to ensure unobstructed views, a stage lit like a theatre, and an audience in the stands that’s both lively and attentive. For over thirty years, this festival has drawn both renowned performers and emerging talents, all united by one goal: to excite the crowd with astonishing, funny, or spectacular acts. Precision juggling, aerial acrobatics, unexpected clowns… each show is unique, yet always designed to captivate from start to finish.

The program spans four days, featuring multiple sessions throughout the day—morning, afternoon, and evening. On Saturday night, the grand gala takes center stage, marking the festival's highlight. Whether you're with family, friends, or flying solo, there's something for everyone, energized by the lively acts and the warm, festive atmosphere under the big tent.

At the heart of the shows, the spirit of classic circus lives on: meet-and-greets, souvenir stands to browse, children's laughter ringing out, and that delightful feeling of childhood nostalgia, if only for an afternoon. Ticket sales are underway, and seats tend to sell out quickly — it's best to book early. The Massy Festival offers a wonderful escape right in the middle of winter, just a few minutes from Paris.
