What to expect

The show is inspired by Alice and features acrobats, aerialists, hand balancers, jugglers and comedians under a red-and-white striped big top. The performers also serve as the crew and travel with the show from city to city. Seating comes in three levels: VIP Experience closest to the stage, Premier Gallery risers, and general reserved. Doors open one hour before showtime. Concessions include popcorn, cotton candy and house-made pink lemonade.

Parking and getting there

The Amp's parking page covers on-site parking, very limited premium spots and free shuttle lots for its events, but it doesn't say which apply to the circus. Call the box office at 904-209-3746 if you're planning around a lot. The Amp says cars parked in the surrounding neighborhoods can be ticketed and towed, so don't.

Before you go

The 11 AM Christmas Eve show is the earliest of the run. Nights of Lights runs in downtown St. Augustine through January 18, if you want to stay for the evening. See our Nights of Lights page.
