The big top has landed at Historic Crew Stadium through November 8.
UniverSoul Circus runs Oct. 29 through Nov. 8, at Historic Crew Stadium, One Black and Gold Blvd., Columbus, with Halloween weekend specials and showtimes Thursday through Sunday, per WSYX (ABC 6).
There is a particular glow that a big circus tent gives off after dark, and this week it has landed at Historic Crew Stadium. Even if you are not planning to go, it is hard not to notice a purple-and-yellow tent when it changes the skyline of a neighborhood you drive through. For anyone looking for a Halloween weekend plan in Columbus, here is what is happening.
All details below come from a WSYX (ABC 6) report by Chrissy Morton. I have kept to what it says and noted what it does not.
Where and When Is UniverSoul Circus in Columbus?
UniverSoul Circus is at Historic Crew Stadium, One Black and Gold Blvd., Columbus, from Thursday, October 29 through Sunday, November 8, according to WSYX. The show is the circus's new production, WE ALL BELONG, performed under its signature purple-and-yellow tent.
What Is the Regular Showtime Schedule?
WSYX lists the regular schedule as follows:
Thursdays and Fridays: 7 p.m.
Saturdays: 12 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Sundays: 12 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
The report also lists a special show on Wednesday, November 4, at 7 p.m. Because schedules can change, confirm times with the circus before you go.
What Is in the WE ALL BELONG Show?
The report lists an Ethiopian Pole Act, a Power of Love ballet, aerial duos from Mongolia and Ethiopia, Soul Skaters from Cuba and the U.S., hand-balancing experts and performers from Russia. It also describes a Caribbean Street Carnival with 20-foot puppets, fire-breathing stilt actors and folklore characters, plus Fresh the Clownsss and motorcycle stunt riders.
Are There Special Offers for Kids?
According to WSYX, children attending Thursday through Sunday, November 1, receive free popcorn, cotton candy or candy. During opening week, the circus also visits local schools, and a Skate & Treat event features show skaters in costume. The article does not give a date for the Skate & Treat event.
How Do You Get Tickets?
WSYX says tickets are sold through Ticketmaster and the UniverSoul Circus box office. The report does not list ticket prices, age guidance or parking details, so check those with the circus before you plan your evening.
What Should You Check Before You Go?
Look at the date and time you want, confirm it on the circus website, and plan your arrival with some cushion. Because the report does not describe parking or entry procedures, I would not assume anything. If you are planning for children, ask the box office about age guidance.
