About UniverSoul Circus

UniverSoul Circus is not your average big top show. Founded in Atlanta in 1994 by entertainment producer Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus was born right here in Georgia and has grown into a globally recognized production that celebrates Black culture, artistic excellence, and the universal language of performance.

Over the past three decades, the circus has toured major cities across North America, building a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to its unique fusion of hip-hop, R&B, gospel, and Afrobeat soundscapes layered beneath world-class circus arts.

UniverSoul Circus holds a special place in Atlanta's cultural calendar. Atlanta audiences don't just watch the show — they participate in it. The interactive format, emceed with energy and humor, turns every performance into a community celebration. For Atlanta families, the circus is a rite of passage — a tradition passed from parents to children that never loses its magic.
