The little circus that could, The Venardos Circus returns to Winter Garden for the holidays

The Venardos Circus held its first performance in 2014 at the LA County Fair.

Created by former Ringling Bros. Ringmaster Kevin Venardos, the show featured a cast of 6 artists in a kind of Broadway/Circus Musical. It was just a little Circus... but it had great BIG dreams.

In the years since, Venardos Circus is reinventing the American Circus tradition for a new generation, and bringing joy to people all over the country.
