Contemporary circus arrives in Sabbio Chiese
Strabilio is the new circus festival that every summer travels through the Valle Sabbia and Lake Garda, in the province of Brescia, bringing contemporary circus shows, acrobatics, mentalism, and performing arts to several towns. The distributed formula makes Strabilio a travelling event that enlivens the Brescia territory for several weeks.
Among the historic stops of the festival is Sabbio Chiese, where the marquee is set up in località Zoller, 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.
The philosophy of Strabilio, and particularly of the Paniko collective, is self-sustainability: no ticket is required for the shows under the marquee, entry is free, and exit is by donation. 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.
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 site of the marquee in località Zoller — 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.
The detailed schedule for the Sabbio Chiese stop (località Zoller) will be published on the official website in the weeks preceding the event. In past years, the stop hosted the CiRcO PaNiKo collective with evening shows at 9:00 PM and free entry with a donation.
Sabbio Chiese is located in Valle Sabbia, reachable by car along the SS237 del Caffaro. The marquee is set up in località Zoller.
For shows under the marquee in Sabbio Chiese, entry is free, with exit by donation.
