Even in the peak of summer, I can’t stop talking about the next big highlight on our calendar: Universoul Circus Queens is rolling back into Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans this September. As a Queens dad and neighborhood insider, I know events like this transform a simple weekend into a memory you’ll treasure—blending family fun, vibrant culture, and unforgettable performances that showcase just how dynamic our borough can be.
Is UniverSoul Circus Worth It?
The UniverSoul Circus has been making its way through Queens for years now, and every time, it brings something fresh, exciting, and deeply meaningful to our community. With over three decades of performances, it has become more than just a circus; it’s a celebration of culture, rhythm, and unity.
Here’s what makes it worth marking your calendar this fall:
Talent from around the world: UniverSoul brings together incredible performers from countries like Ethiopia, Mongolia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the U.S. They all share their unique skills under one big, vibrant tent.
Music you can feel: From R&B and gospel to Latin and hip-hop, the show blends sound and story in a way that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
Fun for Everyone: Whether you’re bringing the family or looking for something fresh and exciting, UniverSoul delivers a “wow” experience that appeals to all ages. It’s been recognized as one of Ticketmaster’s “Top 10 Most Requested Family Events,” with over 25 million people entertained worldwide.
New Acts to Look Forward To: This year’s lineup includes exciting new acts like an Ethiopian pole performance, a fast-paced roller-skating group, the Power of Love ballerina act, a talented contortionist, hoop divers, a strongman duo, Zhukau Swing, and a stunning aerial Lyra show—all bringing fresh energy to a well-loved tradition.
Though it’s still summer now, mark your calendars for the fall when the UniverSoul Circus returns to Queens with its unforgettable mix of talent and culture. It’s a vibrant part of our community that brings us together.
