Created by former Ringling Bros. Ringmaster Kevin Venardos (veh-NARR-dos), the Venardos Circus wraps world-class animal-free circus acts into a Broadway Musical-style format dubbed “The American Circus with the heart of a Broadway Show.”
This year we’re building the dream with an all-new, larger tent crafted by one of the finest tent makers in Italy. With that we will be unveiling our new seating layout, Ringmaster VIP Experience, and new acts mixed with old favorites.
From the moment you approach the tent, you’ll be transported back in time to the golden days of the traveling circus with an amazing assortment of aerialists, acrobats, juggling, balancing, comedy, daredevilry, magic, musical production, and MUCH more, this amazing Circus experience will truly delight adults and kids of all ages.
Doors open one hour before showtime. Come by early to get best pick of the seats (General Admission), take your circus selfies, and pick up classic circus treats like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, and House-made all-natural Pink Lemonade. The main event itself lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission.
With only two weeks in town we expect all of the performances to completely sell out online in advance, so don’t hesitate to get your tickets! Once we sell out online there are no tickets available at the show.
We do not have any animals in our circus, just critically acclaimed human performers procured from the biggest stages around the world.
Please bring a printed or digital copy of the ticket emailed to you with the unique ticket barcode on your smartphone for scanning.
Come early and enjoy our pre-show party! The General Admission and Premier Gallery sections are on a first-come first-placed basis. VIP is assigned by our staff based on group size and can be in the first or second row.
• One child 2 and under per adult admitted free with each paying adult. Babies must remain in arms or laps and can not take up an additional seat.
• Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult seated in the same section.
• No strollers are allowed in the tent but they can be parked outside.
Tickets arrive within a minute of purchase. If you do not see them in your inbox or spam, reach out to us at tickets@venardoscircus.com right away as some email servers do block our tickets.
Need a New Date?
We will do our best to accommodate ticket changes with 24 hours notice.
To request a change, email tickets@venardoscircus.com with the email used to purchase the tickets, name on the order, city, and the date and time you’d like to move to. We now are in multiple cities per date so it’s important to provide all of this information on the first email so we don’t lose time having to follow up.
Tickets will NOT be moved once doors are open an hour prior to showtime.
Ticket orders can not be split or changed in any way other than date and time.
All sales are final. No refunds.
If you can not attend please consider donating your tickets to a friend or neighbor who needs the brightness of the circus!
Please double check your tickets for times and dates as we are unable to honor unused tickets should you miss your performance as those seats were held for your party.
NOTE: Tickets are ONLY available through VenardosCircus.com. We do not honor tickets purchased through a reseller website, a private offer on social media, or transferred without prior notice.
Restrooms will be available along with options for sanitizing and washing your hands.
The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission.
• The taking of photos and videos during the show is not only permitted but positively encouraged! (Share and tag us @VenardosCircus).
• Please, no outside food or drinks can be brought into the tent.
• Smoking or Vaping is not permitted inside the tent.
• While we love our furry friends, pets cannot be accommodated, however, Licensed Service Animals are welcome.
• The tent is rain and windproof and shows will continue rain or shine unless there is a severe danger to the tent or show. When the weather is warm we have two 7ft tall industrial evaporative coolers that cool the tent and provide airflow. When the weather is cool we have heaters to keep conditions inside temperate. If it has been raining there may be a chance of mud or puddles at the location so please dress accordingly. We take great care to plan our stops across America following the most pleasant weather possible but occasionally Mother Nature has other plans.
Our show does contain a large amount of visual and auditory stimulation including frequent light changes, loud music, popcorn smells and general hubub that comes from a large crowd enjoying the show.
If you or your child is sensitive, please check to see if we have a sensory friendly show scheduled for your town. You may also bring headphones or ask our staff to supply you with free earplugs to dampen the sound.
Please reach out to us with any concerns or questions prior to the performance as we are unable to offer refunds should you need to leave the show.
Classic circus treats like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, and Lemonade will be available but we encourage you to order online when you buy your tickets. Everything is made fresh daily and this helps us plan properly and avoid waste.
There are no peanuts for sale. Our popcorn is dairy and gluten-free. Pink Lemonade is made fresh from scratch daily, 100% natural and contains no artificial colors. Cotton candy is also made fresh daily out of pure sugarcane-based sugar.
Usually free and onsite but can vary by location. Check the event details on your ticket or our Facebook event.
The Venardos Circus is ADA accessible but note that Premier Gallery seats are on a riser and not the best choice for guests in a wheelchair but accessible for those who can climb a short riser.
