Festival of Fools
Description
Festival of Fools is a jam-packed long weekend of circus performances, featuring breathtaking acrobatics, gut-busting comedy and jaw-dropping juggling.
Festival of Fools is the largest circus and outdoor arts festival in Northern Ireland, with over 50 performances taking place on the streets of Belfast City Centre and Cathedral Quarter every May Bank Holiday weekend.
All daytime shows are free to attend. Evening tickets can be booked via www.foolsfestival.com
Outdoor Arts and Circus are a familiar feature in many European cities. Belfast hosts its very own version with artists from both close to home and from as far away as New Zealand. Each year the festival takes over the streets and squares of Belfast’s City Centre and Cathedral Quarter.
More and up to date information about this year’s program can be found on their website.
