From Mongolia to Colombia, from South Africa to France, the performers who take the stage for the UniverSoul Circus come from all over the globe and are some of the world's best. They converge beneath the big top across from Newark's Broad Street Train Station May 9th through the 14th, bringing locals spectacular entertainment.

Tickets start at $35, and the show includes everything you remember from going to the circus growing up—and much more. UniverSoul Circus mixes up elements of acrobatics with hip-hop, antics from clowns on stilts, and even stunts by highly skilled motorcyclists. There's enough to ooh and aah over to keep everyone entertained for a few hours. Shows begin at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily.
