Venardos Circus is officially back at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre from Dec 19 – Jan 5, and after experiencing it last year for the first time, I totally get why so many families make this their holiday tradition. The way parents were messaging me last year, telling me how much their kids loved it and how special it was for their whole family? It really showed how unique this circus is.
Venardos isn’t like anything else. It’s 90 minutes of Broadway-style magic—think aerialists, live music, and performers who make you feel like you’re part of something bigger. It’s completely animal-free, but the best part is how hands-on the cast is—they’re not just on stage; they build, run, and pour their hearts into the entire show.
This year, they’re wrapping up their “Decade of Dreams” tour right here in St. Augustine, with an all-new show that’s as stunning as ever. There’s even a sensory-friendly performance on Dec 26, making it perfect for families of all kinds.
🎟 Tickets start at $18.95 for kids under 12, $29.95 for adults, and kids under 1 are free (with a parent).
👉 Opening night: Dec 19 @ 7p
