SPINFEST
ABOUT
Spinfest is a 3 day, jam packed circus festival set in the beautiful lush campgrounds of Camp Cooriemungle.
You’ll have the chance to learn from some of the best circus coaches while enjoying a fun and social atmosphere. Whether you’re a complete newbie, practising professional, old school or just a circus groupie, Spinfest will have something for you.
Spinfest offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for people to meet new friends and learn new skills. Many people frequently attend Spinfest solo or as a complete newbie to circus and walk away with new friendships and memories.
We offer over 200 workshops across the festival with a huge variety of disciplines and skills.
Previous years have included: Acrobatics, Aerials, Rou Cyr, Axe Throwing, Leviwand, Dragonstaff, Fire Eating, Slackline, Industry Discussions, Chess Club, Juggling, Poi, Tightrope, Burlesque, Yoga, Whip Cracking, Parkour, Clowning and so much more.
