Atlanta, GA — This month, Atlantic Station is thrilled to host the 30th Anniversary celebration of the UniverSoul Circus, a vibrant and culturally rich event featuring performers from five continents. Known for its breathtaking acrobatics, thrilling stunts, and dynamic cultural performances, the UniverSoul Circus will be setting up its Big Top in the Pinnacle Lot at 1380 Atlantic Drive NW from Friday, May 17 through Sunday, June 2.
The UniverSoul Circus, which has reimagined itself this year with over a dozen new and diverse acts, will be performing for the first time at Atlantic Station. This year’s show will include never-before-seen acts from Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, Mongolia, and an extraordinary eighteen-person flying trapeze act from China. The theme for this year’s show, “Circus Cousins from Around the World,” promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Cedric Walker, the Founder and CEO of UniverSoul Circus, expressed his excitement about the event. “Atlantic Station serves as a bustling cultural epicenter for numerous residents of Atlanta, and we are thrilled to bring the unique experience of UniverSoul to all its visitors,” said Walker.
The event will be held in a brand-new custom purple Big Top imported from Italy. This impressive tent, measuring 157 feet wide and 330 feet long (the size of a football field), is equipped with advanced lighting and a sound system that enhances the overall performance. Atlantans can witness the tent being raised this week, adding to the anticipation.
Starr Cumming, Southeast Retail Director for Hines, highlighted the significance of the event. “Bringing UniverSoul Circus to Atlantic Station is not just about entertainment; it’s about celebrating cultural diversity, unity, and the joy of live performance,” said Cumming. “As we continue to seek exciting and enriching experiences to bring to our neighborhood, we are thrilled to welcome UniverSoul Circus for the first time ever. This landmark event promises interactive entertainment and electrifying performances, adding a new dimension to our array of community offerings.”
Attendees will benefit from two hours of complimentary parking in Atlantic Station’s parking deck. Additionally, ticket holders can conveniently take MARTA to the Arts Center station and use the free Atlantic Station shuttle to the event. Before or after the show, guests can also enjoy the variety of more than 20 restaurants and bars in the area.
