The Venardos Circus,  a unique broadway-style Circus, is returning to Louisville, KY at Big Four Lawn at Waterfront Park, 1101 E River Rd, Louisville, KY 40206 from Oct 19th to 30th, 2022.

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 onsite at the tent. 

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.”

Guests can expect to be transported back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that has been reinvented for the next generation. 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.

Venardos Circus proudly features its own custom-made big-top, a classic red-and-white striped tent, with an intimate feel and limited seating.

One hour before each showtime, the doors to the circus open with live preshow entertainment to enjoy. Classic circus treats like Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Sno Cones, Fresh Homemade 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.

Masking protocols will follow local ordinances if and when they are required.
