💡 The Festival Problem-Solver
Local governments and event organisers face increasing challenges:
Sun safety requirements
Comfortable, fully accessible public spaces
Rising technical and infrastructure costs
Audience engagement under unpredictable weather
The Ovation solves all of these.
It provides an enclosed, professional-grade entertainment environment
that keeps audiences cool, seated, settled, happy and spending longer at your event.
It reduces the need for separate stage trusses, shade marquees, wet-weather plans, and
over-complicated tech setups.
With The Ovation, you can simplify your infrastructure while elevating the audience experience.
Western Australia’s Newest Circus Big Top:
The Ovation made its stunning debut as the headline venue for Alcoa’s Children’s Festival, presented by the City of Kwinana, hosting the entire day’s entertainment program - comfortably shading over 500 people at peak times per performance.
The Ovation is now a headliner venue at the annual Belmont Kidz Festival, which Ricochet Circus runs a full entertainment program and has over 9,000 attendees per day.
💬 "We know when we work with Ricochet Circus, we don't have to worry, it's always incredible and the community just loves it. They’re back every year!"
💬 “The audiences absolutely loved the show and were constantly laughing and getting involved.”
💬 “Ricochet was a standout performance, drawing large, appreciative audiences.”
💬 “We were thrilled with the enthusiasm and energy Ricochet Circus brought to over 24,000 patrons at this year’s event.”
We’re ready to work with your team to bring The Ovation to your community.
