Venardos Circus

It’s time to celebrate the return appearance for the Venardos Circus (veh-NARR-dos), a Broadway-style animal-free circus, coming to Lynchburg. The show will be held at River Ridge, 3405 Candlers Mountain Rd., Lynchburg, VA 24502 with its 10th Anniversary edition from October 3 – 13, 2024. This edition of the awe-inspiring Venardos Circus cast will celebrate a Decade of Dreams under the big top with a magical, exhilarating, and all-new experience for guests. The show will feature music from Venardos Circus Tours throughout the years but with fresh acts and a reimagined showcase. The 2024 Venardos Circus is traveling with a new custom-crafted, Italian-made red-and-white striped tent that offers expansive seating for an immersive experience and higher views where artists fly high.
“This is a special season for us as we celebrate the many dreams realized by The Little Circus That Could,” said Ringmaster and Producer, Kevin Venardos. “For those that have supported us from the beginning or others who will see us for the first time our goal is always to show you what’s possible when you live your dreams, and we promise you A Grand Ol’ Time.”
Guests can expect a purely magical experience from the moment they enter the tent and travel back in time to the center ring of a centuries-old tradition, but one that has been masterfully reinvented for a new generation. Show schedule will be as follows:
• Thursday, October 3 – 7:00 p.m. OPENING NIGHT!
