The 2024 San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival is San Francisco’s premiere aerial arts event featuring internationally recognized aerial artists and exciting newcomers breaking into the field. This biennial festival brings together spectacle, daring athleticism, aerial dance, and circus to create a dynamic multi-day performance event. Performances are Friday, August 16 through Sunday, August 18.

Hosted at the historic Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, the 2024 festival will feature two evenings of showcase performances, a youth matinee, and a site-specific installation by Flyaway Productions designed for the fire escapes at Fort Mason.

New in 2024, the San Francisco Aerial Arts Film Festival will showcase a curated selection of films that capture the grace, strength, and imagination of the aerial arts, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The film festival will screen parallel to the live performances at Fort Mason.

Support for the 2024 SF Aerial Arts Festival is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture, San Francisco Grants for the Arts, San Francisco Arts Commission, the San Francisco Dream Keeper Initiative, San Francisco Human Rights Commission, California Arts Council, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, Fleishhacker Foundation, the Terry Sendgraff Trust, and Zaccho's community of generous individual donors.
