Ever since it was started by Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1974, the Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo has established itself among the most prestigious global events.
Comparable in importance to the “Oscars” in the movie industry, the “Clown d’Or” is the most coveted award of this festival and indeed of the entire circus world.
Organised and passionately presided over by HSH Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and broadcasted throughout the world, every year in January the Festival presents a line-up of the best international performances, drawing large audiences.

International attractions, artists, clowns and animals will perform in front of a jury presided by Pauline, eldest daughter of SAS Princess Stéphanie of Monaco. This year more than 15 athletes from 15 countries will be present. Very large number representative of Russia that will propose many typical numbers of the circus school in Moscow. The Chinese are also numerous. Among the animal shows, Marcel Kremer stands out with American bison.
