    Summer Circus Spectacular

    Witness hijinks and hilarity, derring-do dexterity and air-borne ballet that will leave you amazed, startled, and gasping in wonder. You might even get into the act and learn a little about circus history while you’re at it. So bring the kids, the grandparents - ah, bring everybody you know – it’s the Circus Sarasota and it’s sensational!

    They perform every morning and again at an afternoon matinee  at the Historic Asolo Theater in partnership with The Ringling. It’s just about the most fun anyone’s had at the circus since the Ringling Bros. hooked up with Barnum & Bailey. So be sure to get your tickets in advance – Circus Sarasota’s Summer Circus Spectacular is just about the most popular entertainment in town. Learn more
