The acts included juggling, stilt-walking, acrobatics, magic shows and clown costume displays and brought a great deal of joy to the audiences, estimated at nearly 8,000 people each day.
The organizers also had a special entertainment area for kids, where the performers put on some professional soap bubble and balloon shows, which brought a lot of laugher to the children.
This festival is the world's largest of its kind and involves more than 500 top clowns, with the simple purpose of bringing joy to families around the globe.
