Originating in Tasmania in the 1990s as the brainchild of circus artist Tony Rooke, the National Circus Festival is a biennial gathering of the Australian circus community held in Mullumbimby, in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.
Hosted by Spaghetti Circus, one of the country’s leading youth circuses, the Festival presents a three-day public program, which this year includes international guests Snatch Circus from Belfast, as well as companies such as Brisbane’s Casus Circus, Western Australia’s all-women Yuck Circus and Melbourne’s Throw Catch Collective.
