Welcome to Sarasota’s Sweet Spot

The heat has backed off, and Sarasota is calling. Paddle through the mangroves, trade the beach for a day on the water, wander The Ringling’s gardens and Ca’ d’Zan, or get lost among the blooms at Selby Gardens. This is the season for seeing more of Sarasota.

HOLIDAYS & ACTIVITIES AT CIRQUE ST. ARMANDS BEACHSIDE

Celebrate the Season, Cirque Style

The holidays take center stage at Cirque St. Armands Beachside. Just steps from Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle, our Sarasota retreat sets the scene for a season of memorable meals, unexpected experiences, and plenty of reasons to gather.

Whether you’re joining us around the table for Thanksgiving, celebrating Christmas on the coast, raising a glass to the New Year, or stepping into something completely unexpected at Ringside, consider this your front-row seat to the festivities.

A festive cocktail in a martini glass garnished with cranberries and mint sits on a snowy surface, surrounded by pinecones, berries, and blurred holiday decorations with warm twinkling lights in the background.

Thanksgiving 2026

Gather around the table at Ringside for a Thanksgiving feast with a Cirque twist. Our special holiday menu pairs beloved flavors of the season with creative coastal cuisine, from a roasted heritage duo of turkey with sausage and apple dressing to Scottish salmon, herb-crusted lamb loin, and decadent desserts.
