We Cirk ! 2026, the free circus festival in Seine-et-Marne

We Cirk! free circus festival sets its tents up in the park at the Château de Quincy-Voisins, in Seine-et-Marne (77), for an 8th edition that looks promising. On Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., this outdoor gathering invites families, the curious, and contemporary circus enthusiasts to an afternoon of varied performances, free of charge. It takes place as part of the MégaWatt festival, that wide program of free shows in Paris and in Seine-et-Marne, with We Cirk! participating once again this year.

What does We Cirk! have in store for the public day on June 27?

The festival's spirit is simple: spread out on the grass, soak in the lush setting of the château, and let yourself be surprised. The daily lineup alternates performances with participatory workshops, featuring companies from very different backgrounds.

• At 3 p.m., NKAMA Dimas Tivane of the Noctambules takes the stage,
• At 3:30 p.m., a juggling workshop led by Dimas Tivane himself, a rare live opportunity to try the circus arts.
• The Cie Barks and its show Moon then steps onto the stage at 4 p.m. and again at 5 p.m., with in between a dive into How much we carry, an immersive circus
• At 4:30 p.m., the afternoon belongs to L'Armoire Polyphonique of the Collectif Les Aimants
• At 5:30 p.m., then to Cirque Inshi from Ukraine with 4 Mesures du Corps
• At 6 p.m., a closing proposal that promises to end the day with intensity.

We Cirk! also puts youth in the spotlight

Before the public day, the festival has set aside Thursday 25 and Friday 26 June for students enrolled in Quincy-Voisins, with school performances tied to the show NKAMA Dimas Tivane des Noctambules. The idea is heartwarming: children introducing the circus to their parents. And the adventure doesn’t stop there, since circus workshops are planned with the La Forestière leisure centre from July 6 to 10, guided by Océane Maignan-Watson.

A festival that shines across neighboring communities

We Cirk! crosses the border from Quincy-Voisins as well. From June 28 to July 4, L'Armoire Polyphonique du Collectif Les Aimants heads out on a tour into the neighboring communes of Seine-et-Marne, as part of the Culture dans les villages d'Île-de-France program backed by the Île-de-France region. A bright way to carry the circus beyond the château’s grounds, into villages that aren’t typically accustomed to this kind of artistic offering.

The We Cirk! festival takes place in the grounds of the Château de Quincy-Voisins, freely accessible on Saturday, June 27, 2026 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, no booking required. Quincy-Voisins sits about forty kilometers east of Paris, easily reachable by car from the Francilienne.
