Charlotte County Fairgrounds Launch Holiday Event With Circus Acts and Drive-Through Light Display

The Charlotte County Fairgrounds opened The Enchanted Holiday Experience on Dec. 12, 2025. It brings three attractions for families. Giovanni Anastasini of Forza Entertainment spent weeks preparing it with his team.

Visitors can drive through a light display where holiday lights and music fill their cars. 

The Enchanted Holiday Circus features acrobats, aerial performers, and comedy acts. Shows happen Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, then switch to daily performances starting the following Thursday.

Santa's Village costs nothing to enter and features local vendors selling gifts. Food options include pizza, mini donuts, funnel cakes, and hot dogs. Kids can get their faces painted. Families snap photos with Santa.

A petting zoo houses ponies, horses, a camel, and other animals. Children can ride the ponies. Guests roast s'mores at a fire pit area.

The drive-thru and village open daily starting on Dec. 13, 2025. Weekday hours run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday extend to 10 p.m. The circus performs on select days through Dec. 27.
