Festival of Fools is the largest comedy, circus and outdoor arts festival on the island of Ireland, with over 70 performances taking place on the streets of Belfast City Centre and Cathedral Quarter. W

We are a free and family-friendly annual circus and street theatre festival that happens on May Day Bank Holiday weekend. We program work that is accessible to a broad range of audiences as well as work that challenges people’s preconceptions about circus and outdoor arts by programming new and challenging work alongside more ‘traditional’ forms of street arts. 

Festival of Fools also offers an opportunity for local community members to get involved with the festival through volunteering, performing in our ‘community hub’, and interactive activities.
