ATLANTA – UniverSoul Circus opens at Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot:

Only a few weeks ago, UniverSoul Circus thrilled Atlanta audiences. But you know what they say: you can never have too much of a good thing! So, starting tonight, the fan-favorite entertainment show is back in town!

UniverSoul Circus opens tonight at Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot and is scheduled to run through May 26 – marking the first time the UniverSoul marquee has set up shop at Atlantic Station.

Have you never attended a UniversSoul Circus show? We can describe it with one word: big. The touring show was created by concert and theater promoter Cedric Walker, who combined elements of live theater, large-scale concerts and circus arts to create a unique blend of family entertainment. UniverSoul Circus’ first show took place in 1994 in Atlanta and was an immediate success, leading to multi-city tours and worldwide success.

During our previous morning under the big top with UniverSoul Circus in 2022, ringmaster Cheyenne described the UniverSoul experience this way: “You come here as a spectator…and you become a participant! Current show performers include a Caribbean Carnival, the incredible Havana Night Skaters, the Extreme Riders (yes, they even fly motorcycles under the tent), and the Wheel of Death. And don’t worry, no one will make you participate in the Wheel of Death, they’ll leave that to the professionals!

Atlantic Station Pinnacle Lot is located at 241 20th Street Northwest in Atlanta — click here for schedule and ticket information. And click the video player in this article for a sneak peek at the big 30th anniversary engagement here in Atlanta!
