WELCOME TO THE MAGIC WORLD OF THE 9th COLOGNE CHRISTMAS CIRCUS

The Kölner Weihnachtscircus is undisputedly one of the very best in Europe. Not only because of its own unique style, but also because of the wonderful amalgamation of many aspects of culture. In Cologne – the famous city on the Rhine River – theatre, live opera and circus will meet each other in a beautiful way. This is the place where ballet, live opera, amazing stunts and the best comedy are brought together with the help of stylish choreography. This all to give visitors something unique during the most wonderful time of the year.
More than 40 international, award-winning artists will take you to a two and a half hour journey.

Our highlight this year is a farewell that will stir the entire industry: Our star guests, the world-famous Fumagalli clowns, are ending their long and unique careers with us. The Italian brothers Daris and Gianni Huesca, who were honoured with the ‘Golden Clown’ award at the Circus Festival in Monte Carlo, are still among the best in their field.

We invite you to "laugh, stand & enjoy" with us during the cold days in the city of Cologne, in Germany.

9 years of top quality

Of course, the show will be the centre of attention of the experience, but the dutch producers Ilja and Katja Smitt will focus as many as possible on service and hospitality for their valued visitors. The couple have been organising events since the early nineties and have a lot experience. They only make shows that they would like to visit by themselves. This philosophy built the fundament for the annual tradition in the city of Cologne.

The Kölner Weihnachtscircus will open its tents for the 9th edition from 29 November to 31 December 2024 in Cologne-Deutz by the Zoobrücke (Messe P 21).
