Where can you find the world’s best performers? In Hanover—and only during the Christmas season. It’s a wonderful treat for the audience, as the Hanover Christmas Circus is finally moving on to the next round with the popular “Grand Prix of Performers.” This festival for the whole family once again brings top-class Christmas circus entertainment to the state capital. The artists, who have won awards at festivals from Monte Carlo to Moscow, face a very special challenge: the audience decides who, between the big top and the ring floor, is the best of the best. In the large, festively decorated, and well-heated tent at the Schützenplatz, the circus elite—from Sweden to Spain, from Beijing to Paris—promises unforgettable moments. From impressive to offbeat, from beautiful to flamboyant, the festival offers excitement, fun, and spectacular performances, as well as promising super-talents. From the undisputed world champion juggler from Prague to Nouveau Cirque acrobatics from France to captivating British humor, there’s something for every taste and all age groups to ensure the best festive atmosphere.
