About UniverSoul Circus

Founded in 1994 by entertainment industry veteran Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus was born from a singular vision: to create a world-class circus experience that reflects the richness of Black culture, global artistry, and universal joy. What began as a groundbreaking idea became one of the most acclaimed touring circuses in North America, earning a devoted following that spans generations and crosses every demographic.

UniverSoul Circus is not a traditional circus. It is a full-throttle entertainment experience that blends the best elements of the big top with hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeat, comedy, and theatrical storytelling. Every performance features internationally acclaimed performers — aerialists, contortionists, motorcycle daredevils, clowns, and acrobats — drawn from across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the United States. The result is a show that feels simultaneously like a concert, a theatrical production, and a world-class sporting event.

Atlanta holds a special place in UniverSoul Circus history. The circus was founded in Atlanta and has called the city home for decades. That deep local connection means Atlanta audiences get something no other city does — a homecoming energy that charges every single performance. When UniverSoul Circus rolls into the Old Turner Field Grey Lot, Atlanta is not just hosting a touring act. It is welcoming one of its own back home.

What to Expect at the Old Turner Field Grey Lot

The Old Turner Field Grey Lot sits in the heart of the Summerhill neighborhood in southwest Atlanta, a community that has experienced a remarkable revitalization over the past decade. The site carries deep Atlanta history — Turner Field served as the home of the Atlanta Braves for over two decades before the team relocated to Truist Park in Cobb County. Today, the surrounding area is a thriving hub of development, culture, and community pride.

The outdoor lot provides an ideal setting for UniverSoul Circus's signature tent experience. Attendees arrive to find the iconic big top fully erected, surrounded by pre-show entertainment, vendors, and the unmistakable buzz of an Atlanta crowd ready to have a great time. Inside the tent, the atmosphere is electric. Seating wraps around a central performance ring, ensuring that virtually every seat delivers a close, intimate view of the action. The sound system is crisp, the lighting is theatrical, and the performers engage the crowd directly throughout the show.

The Old Turner Field Grey Lot is accessible via MARTA. The Garnett Street MARTA Station on the Red and Gold lines places fans within reasonable proximity, and ride-share drop-off points are plentiful in the area. Parking is available on-site and in the surrounding Summerhill lots, making arrival straightforward for drivers coming from across the metro Atlanta area.
