Welcome to
kick off 2023
Come join us and experience something you never imagined possible at the Southern Sweden Circus Festival launch celebrations.
Witness bold and beautiful work by some of the greatest circus artists and companies in Europe playing over 4 days across Malmö and Lund as we give you a taste of what to expect next year.
The full festival will be happening in 2024, but we just couldn’t wait until then to share our excitement about circus. We want to welcome as many people as possible so many events are free to attend, check out the programme for full details.
Whether you’ve never seen circus or you want to see how circus has changed since the big top shows of your childhood, there is something for everyone. The Southern Sweden Circus Festival presented by Cirkus Syd in partnership with Malmö and Lund cities, is your chance to explore everything that classical and contemporary circus has to offer.

All events can also be found day by day under the tab; List of All Events.

- Events where you dont need to register - just turn up, come and go as you like
- Events which are free and you can just turn up, but we love if you register so we know how many are coming.
