A circus with no animals is here in Huntsville—get tickets now
Reading time: 3 minutes
Thought the circus was outdated? Think again. The Venardos Circus—”the little circus that could”—is a modern take on the classic circus. It’s here in Huntsville’s MidCity District, and tickets are already selling out.
How Venardos is reimagining the circus
Venardos is doing the circus differently. Kevin Venardos, a former Ringling Bros. Ringmaster, created the concept.
There’s no animals involved, just top-notch performers.
The classic circus fare like popcorn, cotton candy and lemonade are made fresh daily.
The vintage red-and-white tent seats just 350 people for a more intimate experience than you’re used to.
The 90 minute show (with a brief intermission) is inspired by Broadway, which makes for a stunning production.
“Venardos Circus has grown into a living example of the power of dreams, reinventing the American Circus tradition for a new generation, and bringing joy to people everywhere.”
