UniverSoul Circus will close out its 2025 season in Brooklyn with a holiday edition of its acclaimed Rhythm of the World production, running Friday, Nov. 21, through Sunday, Dec. 7, under a heated big top at Coney Island (1904 Surf Ave.).
Tickets start at $25 and go on sale Friday, Oct. 10. Early access is available now via the waitlist at universoulcircus.com.
Now in its 31st year, UniverSoul has become one of the nation’s most celebrated family events, drawing more than 25 million attendees to its blend of circus arts, music, dance, and cultural storytelling. The Brooklyn run promises a festive atmosphere—dazzling lights, elaborate costumes, and an international lineup of performers representing five continents.
This year’s program introduces a dozen-plus new acts, including the electrifying Ethiopian Pole Act; the graceful Power of Love ballerina performance; contortionist Kefeni; and the Morning Doves aerial lyra duo from Mongolia and Ethiopia. A high-energy roller-skating troupe featuring Cuban and American skaters brings speed and acrobatics, while returning favorites—African Dream hoop divers, Caribbean Street Carnival, and Fresh the Clowns—keep audiences on their feet.
UniverSoul’s interactive format—inviting the crowd to dance, sing, and play along—has made it a cross-generational favorite. Organizers say the holiday edition will highlight themes of unity and togetherness while offering families an affordable, high-energy night out.
