Letní Letná – festival of new circus

Festival Letní Letná 2026 will take place from August 12 to 31 in Letná Park in Prague, offering the best of contemporary circus, theater, music, and visual arts.

The 23rd edition of the international Letní Letná festival will bring a rich program of domestic and foreign companies to the heart of Prague, combining acrobatics, dance, juggling, physical theater, and visual effects. Over the years, the festival has become a cornerstone of the cultural summer and a sought-after destination for contemporary circus fans of all ages.

This year, the festival opens on August 12 with the company Rasposo performing Houvari — a contemporary circus production where acrobatics are not just an impressive spectacle, but an integral part of the story itself. You can also look forward to other big names such as Circa, Cirque La Compagnie, M. Zandl, D. Eisele, and K. Huneck, alongside Czech scene stars like Cirko Hopley, Johnny and Jenny, Losers Cirque Company, and AirGym Art Company.

You can expect a vibrant programme for children as well — Divadlo Jednoho Edy will present Zlatovláska, Malé divadélko will perform O kohoutkovi a slepičce (The Little Rooster and the Little Hen), or you can take the kids to a rainbow bubble show with Václav Strasser, followed by a bubble workshop where children can try out some of the tricks they saw in the show themselves.

Ticket prices range from 150 to 1,000 CZK. However, a large part of the accompanying program is free of charge. In addition to the cultural program, the festival grounds in Letná Park will offer relaxation zones, food stalls, bars, and comfortable facilities for a full-day visit—including barrier-free access.

Letní Letná 2026 once again promises an exceptional experience that blends art, imagination, and the atmosphere of summer in Prague into one unique festival celebration.
