A carnival of some of the country's greatest street theatre, comedy, and circus shows will light up the centre of Cavan Town this Saturday, July 29.

Running from 1-6pm in the grounds of Cavan Number 1 School a wonderworld of absurdity and fun dreamed up by some of the team behind Cavan Arts Festival awaits.

The stellar line-up includes Captain Cormac, one half of infamous comedy duo Lords of Strut.

A juggling aficionado, a lover of all things circus, and an all-round good guy, Captain Cormac is on a mission from the circus Gods; to share with the world his amazing tricks, and his passion for circus, whether the world wants it or not.

Circo Goyo is meanwhile travelling to Cavan all the way from Patagonia, Argentina with a show that has to be seen to be believed; and an international escapologist Monsieur Gusto will bring his circus show to Cavan for the first time ever. A show that has acrobatics, newspaper magic, edible juggling, and an unforgettable finale it’s great fun,

Looking for something a little more petite? The Horsebox Theatre is the perfect entertainment solution with free five-minute concert in lavish, luxurious, and thoroughly delightful, tiny Victorian theatre.

Familiar to many as the star of RTÉ Junior’s ‘Living with a Fairy’, Jay Ryan returns having wowed audiences at Culture Night in Cavan 2022, and Cavan audiences will be itching to see his Flea Circus - involving feats of astonishing bravery and breathtaking beauty – all performed by teeny tiny fleas.
