South Coast Circus Festival 2026
About
The South Coast Circus Festival is a festival of ideas. It’s a festival of collaboration and participation.It’s a gathering of like-minded people testing out new acts, learning and sharing skills and having a great time in the process. Think of all the quirky, silly and off the wall things that happen in the little corners of Australian festivals, this is the space where these ideas begin. A camping weekend with shows, music, skill swaps, interactive events, musical bingo, juggle jams and a circus Olympics.
It’s a space to be unjudged and try something new. It’s a space where everyone is valued.
It is a place where everyone is a participant – even if your participation is enthusiastic clapping and cheering. It’s a place where everyone helps make things work.
You don’t have to be a performer to attend but we hope that you will be a part of the fun and the action in whichever way you feel comfortable.
If you are a performer or want to give it a go – we are your people.
If you have skills to share – this is your community.
Over the weekend - If someone needs a hand – lend a hand.
The South Coast Circus Festival is a private event held at Mt Keira Girl Guides Camp, celebrating the art of circus performance and creativity.
If you plan on attending there is a private FB group for additional information, updates, and questions.
