Cirque Ma’Ceo Arrives in Tampa Bay with North America’s Largest Equestrian Arts Show

A Big Top Experience Lands in Lutz

Tampa Bay is about to host something rarely seen in this region. Cirque Ma’Ceo, recognized as the largest equestrian arts show in North America, is bringing its full production to Avalon Stables in Lutz for a special three day engagement March 6th through March 8th.

This is not a traditional horse show. It is a theatrical production built around elite horsemanship, blending live performance, lighting, music and choreography inside an intimate big top tent. The setting alone makes it feel different from anything typically offered in the area.

Where Horses and Performance Art Meet

Cirque Ma’Ceo was created in 2005 and has toured internationally, building a reputation for combining equestrian precision with circus level artistry. The show features skilled riders, acrobats and aerial performers working alongside beautifully trained horses in a tightly choreographed production.

The experience moves quickly from quiet elegance to high energy spectacle. One moment focuses on the power and grace of the horses, the next shifts upward to aerialists performing above the arena floor. It is designed to be immersive rather than distant, allowing the audience to feel close to the action.

Show Dates at Avalon Stables

The Tampa Bay performances take place March 6th through March 8th at Avalon Stables in Lutz.

Friday at 7pm
Saturday at 4pm and 7pm
Sunday at 1pm and 4pm

Each show runs under the big top tent on site. Seating is limited compared to large arenas, which creates a more personal atmosphere but also means planning ahead is wise.

A Rare Production for the Tampa Bay Area

Large scale equestrian arts productions do not frequently tour through this part of Florida. Bringing a show of this size to Lutz positions Tampa Bay as a stop for national touring entertainment that blends sport, art and live theater.

For families looking for something different, for horse enthusiasts, or for anyone wanting a night out that feels distinct from a typical concert or sporting event, this production offers a change of pace. It combines discipline, creativity and stage presence in a way that stands apart from most local entertainment options.

With only a few performances scheduled, Cirque Ma’Ceo’s stop at Avalon Stables is a limited opportunity to see this level of equestrian artistry up close.
