This year we are guesting on the 2019 Zsolnay Light Festival, so besides the spectacular light parade and the projection mapping shows, we can enjoy the performances of international circus artists as well.
All venues of the Convention are close to each other and are conveniently located in the compact and friendly downtown center. The programs are held in three separate locations. Besides the outdoor and the indoor practice areas the fire space awaits you!
The inspirational and comfortable gym of the downtown school offers practice and learning opportunities. Beginner and advanced circus workshops will be available in the gym, just as 72 hours of non-stop practice.
