Cirque Italia’s Water Circus Nautilus splashes into Tifton Fairgrounds this weekend

TIFTON, Ga. – If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, a one-of-a-kind water circus is making waves in Tifton this weekend. Cirque Italia’s Water Circus Nautilus will be at the Tifton American Legion Fairgrounds from January 16 through January 19, bringing an unforgettable mix of acrobatics, comedy, and high-energy performances, all set atop a massive water stage.

The show features a stunning custom-designed platform holding more than 35,000 gallons of water, creating a dramatic backdrop for performances under the big top. Unlike traditional circuses, this production is completely animal-free, focusing instead on the talents of world-class performers from across the globe.

Audience members can expect to see daring aerialists, jaw-dropping contortionists, skilled jugglers, comedic acts, and breathtaking stunts, all choreographed around fountains and theatrical water effects.

Multiple showtimes are scheduled throughout the weekend:

• Friday, January 16: 7:30 p.m.

• Saturday, January 17: 1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.

• Sunday, January 18: 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
