About UniverSoul Circus

Founded in 1994 by entertainment industry veteran Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus was built from the ground up as a circus experience rooted in urban culture, soul, and the African diaspora. It is one of the most unique and beloved touring entertainment productions in America, blending the spectacle of a traditional big-top circus with a high-energy, interactive atmosphere that feels more like a concert or a party than a conventional performance.

UniverSoul Circus has a deep and meaningful connection to Atlanta. The city served as the birthplace and spiritual home of the production, and Atlanta audiences have embraced it with unmatched passion for three decades. The show consistently sells out its Atlanta engagements, and generations of Atlanta families have made attending UniverSoul Circus an annual tradition. Returning to the Gwinnett Place Mall location — a sprawling, high-visibility site in the heart of Gwinnett County — the circus meets Atlanta's rapidly growing northeastern suburbs where they live.

The 2026 production continues the UniverSoul tradition of showcasing world-class performers from across the globe, including aerialists, contortionists, motorcyclists, dancers, clowns, and live musical acts, all woven together by an electrifying ringmaster who keeps the audience on their feet throughout the show. The result is a production that transcends age, background, and expectation — every seat in the tent delivers a genuinely unforgettable experience.

What to Expect at UniverSoul Circus – Gwinnett Place Mall

The UniverSoul Circus at Gwinnett Place Mall is an outdoor big-top experience staged in the mall's expansive parking lot area along Duluth's busy Pleasant Hill Road corridor, just off Interstate 85. The setup is a fully self-contained circus village, complete with the signature red-and-yellow striped big top tent, food vendors, merchandise booths, and a festive pre-show atmosphere that begins well before the curtain rises.

Inside the tent, the intimate circular configuration means there is not a bad seat in the house. The ringmaster commands the room with a booming personality and interactive crowd engagement that makes every audience member feel like part of the show. Performances move at a relentless pace — there are no slow moments, no lulls, only one breathtaking act after another delivered with precision and flair.

The venue is family-friendly from the parking lot to the final bow. Stroller-accessible paths, kid-friendly concessions, and a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere make this an ideal outing for households with children of all ages. At the same time, the sophistication of the acrobatic and theatrical performances gives adult attendees plenty to marvel at independently. This is genuinely all-ages entertainment at its finest.
