Circo Fest

Sahid Pérez – Official Photographer & Videographer For eight consecutive years, Sahid Pérez served as the staff photographer and videographer for the Puerto Rico Circus and Street Arts Festival (Circo Fest) — the island’s most dynamic celebration of contemporary circus and street performance. Since its founding in 2014, Circo Fest has taken over the streets of Old San Juan each year, presenting a vibrant program of performances by around eight international companies and 30 local groups, bringing together over 100 artists annually. The festival draws more than 70,000 spectators across two days of public performances in the heart of the historic city. Sahid Pérez’s visual work over these eight years has documented the spontaneity, color, humanity, and poetry of the festival — preserving not just performances, but a living archive of artistic expression in Puerto Rico’s streets.
