This summer, circus fans of all ages can beat the heat at reasonable prices while experiencing the best of the circus arts in Sarasota, Fla.

Florida State University's The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Circus Arts Conservatory present the 2022 Summer Circus Spectacular June 10-Aug. 13, at the Historic Asolo Theatre at The Ringling (5401 Bay Shore Rd., Sarasota).

"Each year we are thrilled to partner with the Ringling to present the Summer Circus Spectacular," said Jennifer Mitchell, executive vice president of the Circus Arts Conservatory. "This show not only offers an affordable entertainment option for all ages but is also the perfect summer family-friendly activity. With nine full weeks of shows, and afternoon and evening options, there will always be a convenient time to come and enjoy the magic of the circus arts."

This celebrated summertime event has become a seasonal highlight for locals, visitors, families and groups. To complete the circus experience, Summer Circus Spectacular patrons can enjoy access to the Circus Museum on the day they attend a show for an additional $5.

"It is such a pleasure and an honor to bring a live, professional circus show to the beautiful Historic Asolo Theater at The Ringling, which works to preserve the history and legacy of the circus," said Pedro Reis, the CAC founder and president/CEO. "Our missions are so closely aligned - we both strive to inspire, educate and entertain; our collaboration has been such an organic and fulfilling effort."
