The big circus party in Monaco
From 16 to 26 January 2020 the Principality once again became the global circus capital.
Under the presidency of H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie, the International Circus Festival rewarded the best artistes of our time with the Gold Clowns, in front of an audience who gets to admire their skills in the Fontvieille Big Top.
The International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo has been based since its creation in 1974 by Prince Rainier III on the 3 columns of the Circus Art and its Culture, which are Acrobatics, comedy and animals. The circus animals are real artists and are part of the circus family. We must preserve this as part of our heritage. Long live the circus!
