Traditionally the Circus has a series of home show performances each spring in April. The Circus also performs in the fall at Parents' Weekend, Pow Wow, and hosts a Halloween show in October. The Circus will also travel for road shows. In the past FSU's Flying High Circus has performed in Europe, the Bahamas, Miami and many other venues.

Summer is a very busy and exciting time for the Circus. We take between 20 — 30 students to the Callaway Gardens Resort in Pine Mountain, GA where they staff the Summer Family Adventure Program (day camp) and perform shows daily. We also host a Circus Summer Camp in Tallahassee at the Circus Lot under the Big Top. This camp runs for 8 weeks with 8-15 Circus students staffing this camp.
