The Presidium of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine congratulates the circus community and all its supporters on their professional holiday – World Circus Day
18.04.2026
The holiday was established in 2010 by the Fédération Mondiale du Cirque to promote spectacular stage performances, preserve traditions, and draw attention to the talent of artists. It is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of April.
This day embodies unity, inspiration, and the unique strength of a great artistic family, reflecting shared dedication and boundless love for the world of wonderful creativity.
Today, circus arts, recognized by the European Parliament as part of the world’s cultural heritage, rightfully hold a place of honour in the international cultural landscape. The contribution of Ukrainian circus artists is a vivid testament to the talent and generosity of spirit of our people.
We express our sincere gratitude to the foreign member of the NAA of Ukraine Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth of Monaco (née Grimaldi), for her constant support of international cultural projects that help strengthen cooperation between the world’s circus communities and affirm the high significance of the circus as an art of joy, harmony, and human happiness.
We wish you, dear colleagues, boundless energy, new creative achievements, and spectacular performances.
May the circus ring always be filled with smiles, joyful emotions, and the applause of a grateful audience.
