The Venardos Circus, Asheville NC (see description for showtimes)

The Venardos Circus, a unique broadway-style Circus, is coming to Tanger Outlets Asheville, from Oct 17 to Oct 27, 2024

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.”

From the moment you approach our custom-made, classic, red-and-white striped tent, you will be transport back in time to the golden days of the traveling circus where an amazing assortment of aerialists, acrobats, jugglers, hand-balancers, comedic jokesters, daredevils, magicians and more are waiting with bated breath to dazzle you in what we’re sure you’ll say is the most intimate and delightful entertainment experience ever! But don’t let us speak for you; COME and see, hear, taste, and feel it for yourself!

Doors open one hour before each showtime with preshow entertainment and fun circus photo ops. Classic circus treats like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, House-made all-natural Pink Lemonade, and more are available.

The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission. Complete show schedule available at VenardosCircus.com.
