About the festival

После сложного и непредсказуемого 2020 года, когда во всем мире одно за другим отменялись массовые мероприятия, в том числе и цирковые фестивали, 2021 год стал годом надежд и новых перспектив.

Именно поэтому мы даём старт Всероссийскому фестивалю циркового искусства «Принцесса цирка», который, надеемся, станет символом возвращения к прежней жизни!

Приглашаем ярких, смелых и самых одаренных цирковых артисток из всех уголков России, а также других стран мира, принять участие в этом празднике красоты, грации и изящества, прикоснуться к сказке и почувствовать себя героиней волшебного мира, полного магии и чудес – ЦИРКА!

Наш фестиваль – единственный в мире конкурс, который подчеркивает роль женщины в цирковом мире.
Поддерживая талантливых цирковых артисток, мы вносим свой вклад в будущее циркового искусства, в развитие всей отрасли, делаем инвестиции в будущее цирка.

Фестиваль «Принцесса цирка» проводится в рамках реализации национального проекта «Культура» при финансовой поддержке Министерства культуры Российской Федерации, а также при непосредственном участии «РОСИНФОРМРАЗВИТИЯ».
