A AT THE RINGLING AT THE RINGLING A

Holiday Splendor is a fun-filled annual event that provides a chance for all of us to support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program in Sarasota and Manatee. Since 1947, Toys for Tots has fulfilled its mission of collecting and distributing Christmas gifts to less fortunate children throughout the United States.

Throughout the evening, the enthusiasm and generosity of our Members and guests are on display in the Visitors Pavilion as the collection of donated toys grows. Because of you, The Ringling is a top contributor to the toy drive every year!

The highlights of Holiday Splendor are the local school choirs, bands, orchestras, and dance groups that perform seasonal favorites throughout the estate. Ca' d'Zan, fully dressed for the holidays, is open for guests to stroll through. The Museum of Art, Circus Museum, and Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion will also be open.

Holiday Splendor will take place December 6 from 5:00 – 8:00 PM. Each guest donating a new, unwrapped toy will receive free admission to Holiday Splendor. Toys are always available for purchase in the Museum Store, where you may take advantage of your 10% Member savings and support this great cause. For guests unable to donate a toy, Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for children 6-17, and free for children 5 and under.
