CIRCULAR
Circular is a festival practice that brings together creativity, sustainability, and entertainment. As a
the pioneering and immersive event, it aims to bring new awareness to the entertainment industry by
championing circular economy principles.
Circular raises awareness with panels, workshops, exhibitions, designer markets and screenings on the subject; it transforms the festival into a practice for the participants with the choices it makes in many areas such as stage shows, food and beverage choices, energy use, waste and recycling.
The first trials of Circular were held under the name Publik Park with 4 events before the pandemic.
