About UniverSoul Circus

Founded in Atlanta in 1994 by entertainment visionary Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus is not just a circus — it is a cultural phenomenon rooted in Atlanta's own backyard. What began as a groundbreaking concept to bring together world-class circus arts with the energy and spirit of urban culture has grown into a nationally touring production that consistently sells out venues across the United States. UniverSoul Circus holds a special place in Atlanta's entertainment history precisely because this city is where it all started.

The show draws top-tier performers from across the globe, including acrobats, aerialists, clowns, motorcyclists, and specialty artists whose acts push the boundaries of human athleticism and creativity. Each year's production is freshly curated, meaning returning fans always encounter new performances, new stunts, and new moments of jaw-dropping wonder alongside beloved classic elements that define the UniverSoul experience.

What truly separates UniverSoul Circus from any other touring production is its relationship with its audience. The show is interactive, loud, and alive — performers engage directly with the crowd, the music pulses from the moment gates open, and the atmosphere inside the tent feels more like a concert and a party than a traditional circus. For Atlanta families who have made attending UniverSoul Circus an annual tradition, the June 2026 engagement at Gwinnett Place Mall is an unmissable date on the calendar.
