Wonderland: Illuminate!
Get ready for the most electrifying holiday event of the year as Nik Wallenda and the Circus Arts Conservatory's "Wonderland" makes a triumphant return to Sarasota for its second sensational season. Following its overwhelming success as the #1 holiday event in Southwest Florida in 2023, Wonderland is back – bigger and brighter than ever – with an all-new original production, “Illuminate!” “Wonderland: Illuminate” will transport audiences on a magical journey through global holiday traditions. This immersive, joy-filled holiday circus experience will feature captivating performances from Africa, Asia, Europe, and beyond. Audiences will enjoy performances by fan favorites such as comedic daredevil Johnny Rockett, the electrifying Master of Ceremonies Ty McFarlan, and Sarasota’s own legendary Nik Wallenda alongside his fearless family on the high wire and sway poles. The all-new storyline will feature acts new to Sarasota, like the Royal Kenyan Acrobats from Nairobi, LionDanceME performing the Chinese Lion Dance, and a trio performing on the Indian Pole (Mallakhamb). Guests will also be treated to the Mendez Aerial Rola Bola act, longtime Sailor Circus Academy student turned professional circus artist Emma Clarke’s return to the air in a brand-new stunning performance, and a majestic camel act presented by Colleen Pages Camels. “Illuminate” runs from November 22, 2024, through January 5, 2025 under the sparkling, climate-controlled Big Top at UTC (195 University Town Center Dr., Sarasota).
