When the lights come up, they reveal far more than talent, they reveal possibility.

The National Circus School Foundation’s benefit evening brings together donors, partners, volunteers, and community members around a shared goal: supporting the next generation of circus artists. This annual event, held in Montréal, will take place on May 28, 2026, at TOHU and promises an inspiring, memorable experience.

Guests will enjoy a truly unique night featuring captivating performances, delicious bites, and a cocktail reception filled with meaningful connections and tangible opportunities to contribute, whether through donations, partnerships, or ticket purchases. More than a celebration, this is a moment of collective impact.

Three great reasons to attend the 2026 Benefit Evening

Each year, the funds raised directly support students at the National Circus School, as well as the institution’s social and community programs. Beyond the stage, these contributions make it possible to:

  1. Provide scholarships to emerging circus talents, helping make professional training more accessible and ensuring the highest standards of education;
  2. Develop innovative community initiatives, such as Circus at School, bringing circus arts to young people from all backgrounds;
  3. Create performance opportunities for NCS artists on national and international stages, showcasing this Québec gem and its creative brilliance around the world.

The impact is real and lasting: thousands of young people are introduced to circus arts, students receive essential support, and a new generation of artists is launched into the future actively enriching our cultural landscape.

Getting involved is about much more than attending an event, it’s about investing in creativity, perseverance, and human potential. It’s about helping talent emerge, dreams take shape, and the future rise.

Join us on May 28, 2026. Support. Inspire. Transform. Because art brings us to life.
