Strabilio — Festival di Nuovo Circo (tappa Sabbio Chiese)
Contemporary circus arrives in Sabbio Chiese
About Strabilio
The art of wonder in Valle Sabbia
Strabilio is the new circus festival that every summer crosses the Valle Sabbia and Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia, bringing contemporary circus shows, acrobatics, mentalism, and performing arts to several municipalities. The distributed formula makes Strabilio a travelling review that enlivens the Brescia area for several weeks.
The big top in Sabbio Chiese
Among the historic stops of the festival is Sabbio Chiese, where the big top is set up in the Zoller area, hosting the CiRcO PaNiKo collective for several evenings, one of the first and largest contemporary circus companies born in Italy under a tent. The shows, at 9:00 PM, transform the space under the tent into a place of shared amazement.
A festival with free admission
The philosophy of Strabilio, and particularly of the Paniko collective, is self-sustainability: no ticket is required for the shows under the big top, admission is free, and donations are collected at the exit. It is the audience that gives value to the experience lived under the tent. The festival involves numerous partner municipalities in Valle Sabbia and Basso Garda.
Strabilio — edition 2026
The Strabilio Festival returns from June 20 to August 29, 2026, confirming its distributed nature: 16 partner municipalities in Valle Sabbia and Lake Garda, 20 free-entry shows, and 7 workshops spread throughout the summer.
The detailed program, with the schedule of individual stops — including that of Sabbio Chiese, the historic home of the big top in the Zoller area — will be announced on the festival's official website in the weeks preceding the event. For specific dates and shows, please refer to the publication of the 2026 program.
