Carnival of Colours 2026

CARNIVAL OF COLOURS 2026 🎪
Presented by In Your Space Circus

Derry’s boldest and brightest Circus & Street Arts festival, Carnival of Colours, is BACK!
We’re returning to Foyle Maritime Festival with more colour, more chaos, and more circus than you could shake a seagull at! (Please don’t shake the seagulls…)

From 25–28 June, we’ll be taking over McFarland Quay with a programme packed to the brim with circus magic including astounding acrobatics, jaw-dropping juggling, feats of balance and fabulous physical comedy from… Hikapee, Brain Fools, Tumble Circus, Logy on Fire, Fraser Hooper, Frankie Magilligan, IYSC Youth Circus, and more!

And of course, it wouldn’t be Carnival of Colours without plenty of artsy fun for all the family! Swing by the Baby Top (between Sainsbury’s and Fort George) for circus skills workshops, pop under the stretch tent for portraits and face painting and lots of sea-themed shenanigans.

So… why not join us along the quay for some circus maritime madness?
And follow us online for exciting updates!
