The Yaskrava Arena Dnipra International Children’s Circus Festival was started in 2010 by an NGO called Bright Country (Ukraine). Before the war, it was held every year in December at the Dnipro State Circus.
Since it began, more than 1,000 young artists from all over Ukraine as well as from Lithuania, Hungary, Germany, Moldova and Poland have participated in the festival.
Winners regularly go on to international festivals in France, Spain and Italy.
