The last YOUNG STAGE Festival is now definitely over and we are taking a short break to recharge our batteries for new adventures. However, we can already reveal this much: the YOUNG STAGE association will continue to exist and will continue to focus on various circus and artistic themes in the future. We plan to hold the Circus Camps again in the summer of 2026. The dates will be announced as soon as they are known.

The International Circus Festival YOUNG STAGE Basel celebrated its grand finale on September 22, 2025, with an emotional gala show after nearly 20 years. The audience responded with standing ovations.

On 22 September, we have one last highlight in store for the GRANDE FINALE: for the first time in the history of the festival, the gala show will not only be held in the event hall of Messe Basel, but will also be broadcast worldwide.
