The La Strada Festival, an important event dedicated to contemporary circus, dance, and urban theater, continues its journey into September. Organized by the Circuito CLAPS, the festival takes place in the heart of Brescia, transforming its streets and squares into an open-air stage for international artists.
A Long-standing Project
Since 2008, the La Strada Festival has turned Brescia into a showcase for cultural events that attract talents from around the world. The festival not only celebrates the architectural beauty of the city but also offers a range of high-level artistic performances. In addition to the main event, the Circuito CLAPS has launched other initiatives, including “La Strada e dintorni”, which brings performances to various municipalities in Lombardy during the summer, and “La Strada Winter”, the winter edition of the festival.
2024 Edition: Dates and Locations
The XVII edition of the festival will take place from August 27 to September 15, 2024, engaging public spaces in Brescia with a series of events dedicated to contemporary circus. Artists from across Europe will perform in acts that promise exciting and surprising moments for all attendees.
