The big top is back, and so is the magic! The beloved Piccolo Zoppé Winter Circus returns for its sixth annual Arkansas tour, bringing breathtaking acrobatics, European flair and family tradition to five cities across the state from Nov. 1, 2026, through Jan. 3, 2027.
Founded in Italy in 1842, the Zoppé family has captivated audiences for more than 180 years with their heartfelt performances and timeless artistry. Last year, the circus started its evening shows a little earlier for the younger audience and also added a Christmas Eve matinee. It’s a format the circus plans to keep because fans loved it so much! This year, a few more Saturday matinees have been added as well.
Along with Tosca, Jay Zoppé and all the traditional performances fans have grown to love, an awe-inspiring entertainer will be traveling to Arkansas all the way from France this year to join the fun! Plus, there are new equine family members to be introduced! More details about this year’s performance will be revealed soon…
