Re Riga! festival August 17–21

20.06.2022.

This year the contemporary circus and street art festival RE RIGA! will celebrate its 10 year anniversary, in addition this time the festival will be organized by Rigas cirks. Save the festival dates: 17th until the 21st of August!

Good news for those who are planning to be in Riga or return to Riga from their summer adventures in August – RE RIGA! 2022 will be colourful and diverse. In the festival you will be able to see the performances by artist form the Baltics, as well as experience the art of contemporary circus beyond the Baltic border. The program will have something for everyone.

Finally we will have a performance by the beloved circus company “Be Flat” form Belgium. We were expecting them two years ago, but unfortunately the pandemic had other plans for us. Their parkour performance “Follow Me” has surprised people in different countries all over the world. Just as the name of the performance suggests the audience has to follow the artists while they perform.

See the full program of the festival below. If you don’t want to miss festival related information, follow RIGAS CIRKS and RE RIGA! FESTIVAL on their social media pages!
