Welcome
Tralee Circus Festival 18-20 November 2011
in association with Siamsa Tíre
The Tralee Circus Festival began in 2000 as a juggling convention. It was a way for the diverse strands of a contemporary circus culture to meet, share ideas, fun and create an Irish expression for this exciting artform. Since its humble beginnings it has evolved to be Irelands annual contemporary circus festival. The Brandon Hotel Tralee are the festivals official accommodation partner, contact them on 066 7123333.
