We propose a model of events with circular causality, in the form of a conservative extension of Winskel's event structures. We study the relations between this new kind of event structures and Propositional Contract Logic. Provable atoms in the logic correspond to reachable events in our event structures. Furthermore, we show a correspondence between the configurations of this new brand of event structures and the proofs in a fragment of Propositional Contract Logic
