Our Events, Performances & Appearances
Circus arts at PACA are recreational, educational, and therapeutic—supporting physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development for people of all ages. Whether it’s aerials, acrobatics, balancing, or object manipulation, circus offers a unique path to personal growth and creative expression.
PACA focuses on accessible education through both public classes and community-based programs for marginalized or at-risk groups. In addition to ongoing programming, PACA produces at least one major event annually, showcasing professional circus artists alongside students and celebrating the power of performance.
Upcoming Events
At PACA, our events fuse the dynamic energy of circus arts with dance, theatre, and diverse cultural influences.
Through interdisciplinary performance and the bold vision of our artists, we push creative boundaries, redefine contemporary art, and strengthen the role of circus within the local arts community.

Become A Supporter
of PACA
Sponsorships are vital to the Peterborough Academy of Circus Arts and the work we do in our local community.
As a non-profit, we rely on the support of sponsors to help us provide accessible circus education, outreach programs for marginalized groups, and inspiring public performances.
Without sponsors and volunteers, many of our community initiatives, youth programs, and annual productions wouldn’t be possible. Your support helps us keep circus arts alive, inclusive, and thriving in Peterborough – Thank you!
