49th Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival & 14th New Generation

Held at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco, the 49th Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival alongside the 14th New Generation event showcases outstanding circus talents from around the globe. Over several days in January 2027, audiences can experience a series of selection shows featuring the best acts competing for the prestigious Golden Clown award. The program includes two selection performances highlighting diverse circus disciplines, a two-hour show at a reduced rate suitable for all ages, and a gala evening with award presentations attended by Monaco's Princely Family. The festival culminates in a winners' show presenting the top prize-winning acts recognized with Golden, Silver, and Bronze Clown distinctions, judged by an international panel. Children under five may sit on their parents' laps without a ticket, and special arrangements are available for guests with mobility or other disabilities. This festival remains a premier event celebrating circus arts in Monaco.
