About UniverSoul Circus

UniverSoul Circus is not just a circus — it is a cultural institution. Founded in Atlanta in 1994 by entertainment executive Cedric Walker, UniverSoul was built from the ground up to celebrate the African American experience through the art of circus performance. Over three decades later, it has grown into one of the most recognized touring circus productions in the United States, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans each year across multiple cities.

What separates UniverSoul from every other circus is its soul. The production fuses high-flying acrobatics, comedy, dance, and live music into a seamless, immersive show that connects directly with its audience. Performers interact with the crowd, the music pulses with rhythm and culture, and every act is designed to make the audience feel like they are part of the performance — not just spectators watching from a distance.

Atlanta holds a special place in the UniverSoul story. This city is where the circus was born, and returning to the Old Turner Field Grey Lot each year is a homecoming as much as it is a performance. Atlanta audiences receive a show charged with extra energy, extra pride, and extra spectacle. The local crowd knows it, and the performers deliver accordingly.

The 2026 edition continues the tradition of pushing boundaries. Expect gravity-defying aerial acts, jaw-dropping motorcycle stunts, mesmerizing contortionists, and comedy segments that keep audiences of all ages laughing from the opening act to the final bow. UniverSoul consistently updates its production with fresh talent and new routines, so even longtime fans discover something new every season.

What to Expect at the Old Turner Field Grey Lot

The Old Turner Field Grey Lot is a familiar and beloved Atlanta venue for UniverSoul Circus. Located in South Atlanta near the Summerhill neighborhood — just south of Downtown — the site sits close to Georgia State University's Center Parc Stadium, the transformed home of what was once Atlanta's professional baseball home. The area is well-connected and easy to reach from multiple directions across the metro.

The outdoor lot setting creates a true big-top circus atmosphere. UniverSoul erects its signature tent on the grounds, transporting attendees into a world of spectacle the moment they step through the entrance. Inside, the intimate circular seating arrangement means there is no bad seat in the house — every angle delivers a front-row feel. The energy inside the tent is electric, with audience participation woven throughout the show.

Arriving early is the right call. Pre-show entertainment, food vendors, and interactive experiences make the time before the main event part of the fun. Families with young children especially benefit from arriving ahead of showtime. Parking is available on-site at the Grey Lot, and the venue is accessible from I-75/I-85 and several major surface streets. MARTA riders can access the area via the Summerhill area with connecting bus service from nearby rail stations.
