From 7 pm, audiences can enjoy the magical MIRAGE production, complemented by a host of exclusive performances never seen before. The special programme promises nearly four hours of world-class circus artistry, featuring breathtaking acrobatics, dazzling costumes, surprise acts and unforgettable moments under the big top.

A Celebration of Circus Arts

The Night of the Circuses is an annual nationwide cultural initiative designed to celebrate circus arts while offering visitors a unique glimpse behind the scenes of this extraordinary world.

The Capital Circus of Budapest has been hosting the event since 2013. As Central Europe's only permanent circus operating all year round, it plays a leading role in promoting the rich traditions and contemporary artistry of circus performance.

MIRAGE Takes Centre Stage

The circus's current production, MIRAGE, celebrates the meeting of cultures through spectacular acrobatic performances, striking visual effects and stunning costumes that transport audiences into a world of imagination.

The extended Night of the Circuses programme will also feature talented students from the Imre Baross Circus and Performing Arts Academy and the Old Circus School Ukraine, alongside a number of special surprise performances created exclusively for the evening.
