This time, the legendary circus is coming home to Georgia, featuring Atlanta’s own Lauren Irving as one of the lead “Show Guides.” The show promises a breathtaking two-hour spectacle packed with over 50 electrifying circus acts, and will be stopping at State Farm Arena from February 14-17, followed by performances at Gas South Arena in Duluth from February 21-23, 2025.

A Circus Like No Other

Forget everything you thought you knew about the circus—this isn’t just any show; this is The Greatest Show On Earth®!

This new production has been reimagined to entertain today’s families, blending awe-inspiring stunts, high-energy performances, and moments of pure joy.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor, Ringling’s 2025 tour offers a thrilling experience that’s perfect for everyone, from kids to grandparents. It’s more than a show; it’s an event that creates lasting family memories.

At the heart of this dazzling production is Norcross native Lauren Irving, who is thrilled to bring her talents to the iconic Ringling Bros. stage. Raised in Suwanee and a graduate of both North Gwinnett and Peachtree Ridge High Schools, Lauren’s passion for music and performance was deeply influenced by her family’s eclectic tastes, ranging from Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin to Chopin and Gospel music. Lauren’s journey to the circus is a dream come true, and she’s honored to represent her home state as “Aria,” one of the show’s charismatic guides.

“I’m so excited and honored to return to my home state to take the stage,” Lauren said. “The musical exposure and involvement throughout my life provided the perfect foundation for who I am today. This Georgia girl’s dream has come true with the opportunity to tour and perform across the country with the iconic Ringling circus!”

A Show That Defies Gravity and Expectations

The reimagined Ringling Bros. experience is designed to immerse audiences in a 360-degree spectacle, where the arena floor becomes a playground for some of the most daring acts you’ve ever seen.

Prepare to be wowed by the never-before-seen triangular highwire and crisscross flying trapeze acts that elevate traditional circus performances to new heights. The BMX bike stunt scene will have you on the edge of your seat as riders flip and soar through the air, while the Double Wheel of Destiny pushes four daredevils to their limits 30 feet above the ground.

Other highlights include Wesley, the One Wheel Wonder, who will ride the world’s tallest unicycle at a staggering 34.6 feet, and a human juggling act that’s sure to leave you breathless.

Each performance is punctuated by live music, adding a vibrant energy that encourages audience participation and makes the show an unforgettable experience for all ages.

“Over the past two years, we’ve innovated and deepened the connection between performers and the audience, creating an unforgettable experience,” says Juliette Feld Grossman, CEO and Producer of The Greatest Show On Earth®. “At the heart of every Ringling show is a sense of wonder and authenticity. No matter the generation, every audience member will find moments that resonate, delivering the thrilling and inspiring experience only Ringling can offer.”

Having launched its tour in September 2023, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® will visit over 50 cities across North America, bringing this extraordinary show to fans everywhere. And with family-friendly ticket pricing, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
