Reno has a proud history of inspiring young minds. Historically through science fairs, Reno encouraged students to explore their passions in STEM. Unfortunately, the long-standing tradition, once hosted by UNR, was lost in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we are bringing it back—stronger than ever.

Join us at this FREE Event at The Discover.

Many free give aways for kids.

It’s time to celebrate the triumphant arrival of Venardos Circus, a Broadway-style animal-free circus, coming to Reno, NV. The show will be held at Meadowood Mall with its 10th Anniversary edition from
June 19 - 29, 2025. This edition of the awe-inspiring Venardos Circus cast will celebrate a Decade of Dreams under the big top with a magical, exhilarating experience for guests. The show will feature traditional circus artistry with fresh acts and a reimagined showcase. The 2025 Venardos Circus is traveling with a 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 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 fabulous 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, June 19 - 7 p.m. OPENING NIGHT!
• Friday, June 20 – 7 p.m.
• Saturday, June 21 – 2 p.m., 5 p.m.
• Sunday, June 22 – 2 p.m., 5 p.m.
• Wednesday, June 25– 7 p.m.
• Thursday, June 26 – 7 p.m.
• Friday, June 27– 7 p.m.
• Saturday, June 28 – 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m.
• Sunday, June 29 -- 2 p.m., 5 p.m.

Tickets: General Admission tickets start at $16.95 for youth under age 12 and $27.95 for adults. One baby in arms is admitted free with each paying adult. (Two years old or younger per paying adult seated on a lap). Premier Gallery and VIP Experience Reserved seating is available. In the new larger tent, fans will still enjoy the intimate feel and proximity to the performers but with enhanced views of aerial acts due to the taller design of the tent. The VIP Experience will offer assigned seating closest to the stage with guests escorted to their positions and other special experiences. Premier Gallery seating will occupy a multi-tier riser to provide greater visibility. Please visit www.Liveyourcircusdream.com for more information.

The circus performers are also the crew on this traveling tour, much like the original circus tradition. There are no animals in Venardos Circus.

Concessions: Doors open an hour prior to showtime. Concessions available when doors open. Classic circus treats like fresh popcorn, cotton candy, house-made all-natural pink lemonade, packaged candy, and more are available for presale online or in the tent. Complete show schedule available at www.VenardosCircus.com.

What to expect on site:
• The parking area is flat so there is easy handicap access between the lot and the tent.
• Concessions are available but we encourage guests to order online when purchasing tickets. Contactless payment options available.
• The main event lasts approximately 90 minutes, with a brief intermission.
