From 2027, Karnidale moves to every second year. Two years to build each one: longer to bring artists from further away, more time to make something bigger than an annual festival can be. It also means this is the only Karnidale until January 2029.
2027 Shows
Twenty-six shows from nine countries — aerial, acrobatics, comedy, fire and family shows across the big tops and stages.

The festival will feature a unique line-up of Circus, cabaret, magic, kids shows plus fabulous live bands playing all day.
Enjoy an authentic festival experience and get up close and personal with acrobats, aerialists and circus superstars strutting their stuff on a stunning festival site, just three hours from Perth. You can even try some circus classes, if you’re brave!
This is like no other festival experience in the world.
Priority access tickets will once again be available. Avoid the queues and guarantee the best seats for the shows.
Once the kids are tucked in bed, the night-time entertainment takes a turn for the risqué with late-night cabarets poised to set the stages ablaze with a storm of scandal, skill, and sheer sass.
