Support UpDown Circus Festival

UpDown Circus Festival is bringing world-class circus and street performances to the heart of Cork. 2025 marks our very first edition, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with incredible organisations like Douglas Street, Dance Cork Firkin Crane, The Everyman, and Promenade, with support from the Arts Council of Ireland.

To make this celebration as magical as it can be, we’re launching a GoFundMe to further help us put up an incredible week of events for you! Your support will ensure our team is paid fairly, our artists are welcomed to Cork City, and the festival runs smoothly from start to finish.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference as circus arts rarely receive enough funding and support. You can donate anonymously, or if you’d like, we’ll proudly feature your name as one of our amazing supporters. Help us bring the best circus we can, to the streets of Cork!
