The Government of Québec is proud to support MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE. This event is an exceptional showcase for international circus artists and is helping to secure Montreal’s place on the world stage.
MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE also promotes the city’s recognition as an international circus capital. A unique and distinctive cultural event that attracts hundreds of thousands of festival-goers, MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE is a major tourist attraction with significant economic benefits not only for the greater Montréal area but for the province as a whole.
It is thus with great pleasure that we applaud the work of the organizers and volunteers who have made this extravaganza possible and are helping to make the circus arts accessible to all.

Word from M. Denis Coderre
It's already the eighth edition of MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE! Montréal is pleased to have supported the first international circus arts festival in North America since its inception.
We are feeling especially festive as we celebrate the 375th anniversary of our city. I am delighted to see Rue Saint-Denis and Place Émilie-Gamelin become open-air circus rings featuring talented artists.
Their creativity, their humour and their prowess will surely amaze Montrealers as well as visitors, young and old alike.
This festival brings magic to our summer and is an important showcase for elite circus artists. We can be proud of this festival, which has become a highlight.
Montréal has long been recognized as a metropolis of festivals and culture, and shines among the world capitals of the circus arts. This facet of our city will certainly continue to gain renown in the years to come.
Long live the circus and long live Montréal!
Denis Coderre
Mayor of Montréal
