Holiday-Themed Cirque Shows Scheduled at Riviera Dunes Marina
Two touring cirque productions are scheduled to appear in Palmetto later this month and early next year, bringing contrasting holiday-themed entertainment to Riviera Dunes Marina.
Paranormal Cirque II runs from Dec. 19 through Dec. 28, 2025, offering a horror-themed performance blending circus-style acts with dark, seasonal imagery. The production is marketed as an adults-only experience, with organizers noting that it contains intense scares, strong language, strobe lighting, sudden visual effects, and disturbing holiday themes. Admission is restricted to guests 13 and older, with those ages 13 to 17 required to attend with an adult who has valid identification. Accessible seating is available through advance arrangements with the box office.
Following that engagement, Cirque Italia’s Water Circus Platinum will take place Jan. 2 through Jan. 5, 2026, at the same location. The family-oriented production features a climate-controlled tent and a large water stage, with performances centered on acrobatics, choreography, and theatrical water effects. The show is promoted as suitable for all ages, highlighting a mix of thrills, humor, and visual spectacle.
Both productions will be staged at Riviera Dunes Marina in Palmetto, continuing the venue’s role as a host site for traveling entertainment events during the holiday season and into the new year.
