The Circus Arts Conservatory (CAC) is bringing the beat back with WONDERBALL 2025, the ultimate fusion of electronic dance music, immersive visuals, and circus artistry all in support of youth education. This year’s headliner? Global EDM sensation R3HAB, whose high-octane sold-out sets have rocked stages from Coachella to Tomorrowland.
WONDERBALL returns on Saturday, October 4, 2025, inside the Sailor Circus Arena (2075 Bahia Vista St., Sarasota). Tickets including VIP sponsor pods, dance floor and stadium seats are available at circusartswonderball.com.
This year’s theme is Graffiti Color Explosion with bold, bright, and built to move energy. Guests are encouraged to go embrace edgy color and amped vibes.
Opening the night are NYC’s DJ Peter DiCaro and local fan favorite DJ AU-GUST. Arena doors open at 7 p.m. for a full-scale immersive experience including stunning audio visuals and surprise circus moments only the CAC can deliver.
WONDERBALL is the year’s best dance party fundraiser with a profound purpose. WONDERBALL proceeds benefit CAC’s youth education program that include the world-renowned Sailor Circus Academy, a one-of-a-kind science physics program for all public school fifth graders, and summer camps that reach thousands of local K–12 students.
“WONDERBALL is where our mission meets the music,” says Jennifer Mitchell, CAC executive vice president and COO. “We’re excited to welcome R3HAB, one of the world’s top DJs to Sarasota and to continue raising the bar for what a fundraiser can be.”
