Concept and Profile

A multi-week Christmas circus is planned as an independent winter festival with several dates per week. The format is aimed at families, groups of friends, and visitors from the region, combining contemporary staging with classic circus elements.

• Program profile: international artistry and acrobatics, humorous clowning, festive lighting and sound direction.
• Family focus: atmospheric, cross-generational entertainment with a clearly structured schedule.
• Planned show duration: around 150 minutes including intermission, to make arrival, departure, and visits to the food stands easy to plan.

Venue: Festival Grounds on Dreizehnerstraße

The festival and fairground on Dreizehnerstraße is planned as the venue. The site offers good accessibility, generous space, and the opportunity to create an atmospheric festival zone with a big top, light installations, and food and beverage offerings.

• Arrival: easily accessible by car as well as by public transport within Ingolstadt.
• On site: planned routes and entry areas for quick and safe access to the tent.

Schedule and Frequency

Several performances per week are planned, with afternoon and evening shows so that families, clubs, and groups can find suitable slots. The schedule allows for predictable time windows for arrival, intermission refreshments, and a relaxed journey home.

• Afternoon performances: ideal for families with younger children and visitors who prefer earlier times.
• Evening performances: suitable for groups of friends, clubs, or colleagues as part of a shared winter activity.
• Recommended arrival: about 30–45 minutes before the show starts for entry, cloakroom, and finding your seat.

Staging and Experience

The circus ring will be festively staged. The dramaturgy relies on a mix of suspense, wonder, and cheerful moments. Clowns lighten the mood between the artistic highlights, so the audience can catch their breath and enjoy themselves again and again.

If animal performances are part of the program, they will be embedded in atmospheric images and music. The organizers will announce in advance whether and in what form animals will appear.

Service, Accessibility, and Safety

• Accessibility: ground-level access, designated spaces for wheelchair users, and accompanying services are planned. Details will be published in advance.
• Family-friendly: child-appropriate intermission length, hearing protection for sensitive ears, and early seat selection are recommended.
• Safety: clearly marked emergency exits, trained teams, and weatherproof infrastructure for winter conditions.

Tickets, Food & Beverage, and Visit Planning

• Tickets: presale start, categories, and discounts will be announced through official channels.
• Seating: numbered seating areas are planned; booking early secures your preferred seats in your desired price category.
• Food & Beverage: hot drinks and snacks are available on site; the intermission provides enough time to visit the stands.
