The Cir'K festival in Montmerlhe makes its debut on the circus festival calendar on Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4th, 2026 in Laissac-Sévérac l'Église, Aveyron. For this inaugural edition, the Asso'Lucion association is offering a weekend combining circus, street arts, and concerts in the village of Montmerlhe, with a program designed for both children and adults.
🎪 The project clearly asserts its circus identity. Its name, Cir'K à Montmerlhe, immediately sets the tone and the festival is also listed in the 2026 agenda of the French Juggling Association, alongside the various juggling conventions and meetings organized in France.
For this inaugural edition, the organizers have chosen to bring together several artistic disciplines. Circus and street arts form a central part of the event, while several concerts will round out the program. Aveyron Tourism officially presents the event as a festival of "circus, street arts, and concerts for all ages."
The festival will begin on Saturday, October 3rd at 2pm and will continue on Sunday, October 4th, 2026. The idea is therefore to offer a true artistic weekend in Montmerlhe rather than just an evening of entertainment.
🤹 For jugglers and circus enthusiasts, Cir'K in Montmerlhe is definitely worth keeping an eye on as the program is announced. Its inclusion by the French Juggling Association confirms its importance in the 2026 French circus calendar. However, the detailed program of shows, disciplines, circus artists, and any workshops has not yet been published: as of September 2nd, the official Aveyron Tourism listing still indicates "program in progress."
🎵 On the music front, one name already gives us a sense of the atmosphere: Bob's NoT Dead! is announced at Cir'K Montmerlhe on Saturday, October 3rd. A singer-songwriter, the artist works in a world of French chanson and alternative rock.
The atmosphere at Cir'K in Montmerlhe is clearly intended to be popular, family-friendly, and festive, with a program accessible to both adults and children. This intention is also reflected in the pricing policy, as admission is completely free for children under 12.
🍕 The friendly atmosphere will also extend to the food: the poster announces pizzas baked in a bread oven, to be enjoyed right at the festival. This concept perfectly captures the spirit of this rural gathering centered around circus, live performance, and music.
For adults, the price is €15 in advance and €18 on the day. The organizers specify that capacity is limited, making advance tickets particularly attractive for those who want to be sure of their attendance.
🌿 The festival takes place in Montmerlhe, in the commune of Laissac-Sévérac l'Église, in the heart of the Aveyron. This rural setting gives a particular identity to this first edition: rather than an event set up in a large hall or an urban cultural facility, Cir'K in Montmerlhe aims to bring circus, street arts and music to life in a village environment.
With its blend of circus, street arts, juggling, and concerts, Cir'K à Montmerlhe 2026 promises to be an exciting new addition to the Occitanie circus calendar. Join us on October 3rd and 4th, 2026 in Montmerlhe, near Laissac, to discover this inaugural edition organized by Asso'Lucion.
