This year at the Florida Strawberry Festival the only thing higher than the ferris wheel is the Wallenda family. In their 25- to 30-minute act, the mother-daughter team, Rietta and Lyric Wallenda, and Lyric's husband, Simon Arestov, perform acrobatics and aerial feats.

The show, known as Circus Incredible, is a unique edition to this years lineup as the first of its kind. Located between the carriage house and the strawberry tent, Circus Incredible is performing three times a day for the entirety of the festival's 11-day run. Show times are daily at 12:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
