Families can also look forward to the returning Caribbean Street Carnival, complete with 20-foot dancing puppets, fire-breathing stilt dancers and colorful folklore characters. Fresh the Clownsss will bring comedy to the big top, while motorcycle stunt artists perform daring flips and dives high above the arena floor.

Audience participation is a big part of the experience. Guests may find themselves dancing in the aisles, singing karaoke or interacting with performers throughout the show.

UniverSoul Circus was founded in Atlanta in 1994 by Cedric Walker. The production blends circus arts, music, theatrical storytelling and global cultural influences into an interactive live entertainment experience for audiences of all ages.
