[Juggle] Upcoming juggling festivals
Hi all, a lot of juggling festivals are now finally returning after a pandemic pause. Here are a couple of upcoming ones within driving distance. Let us know if you are interested in joining: *March 3-5 -- Pocono Juggle/Circus Arts Fest (~5h drive to east/central PA)* This is a smallish but nice and friendly local festival that some of us have been too in the past. They attract a lot of jugglers from the New York and Philly region and usually bring in some good acts for the show. *March 24-26 -- RIT Juggling Festival (5h drive to upstate NY)* This is one of the largest and best local juggling festivals in the US (usually >300 jugglers). We have been going as a group pretty much every year. If you can only make one, try this one. *Late April/early May -- Congress of Jugglers (bus or 4h drive to DC)* Smallish festival at the UMD campus near DC which we have attended a couple of times. Usually very informal and organized at the last minute. No date announced yet for this year, but usually around Mother's Day. *June 9-1 -- Philly Fest 2023 Juggling Festival (train, bus, or 6h drive)* Smallish festival at the circus school in Philadelphia. Moved to the summer this year. Very nice space in the circus school. *July 17-23 -- IJA (train or 6h drive to IN)* Weeklong national juggling festival with about 400 attendees and lots of shows. Somewhat pricy to attend. Within driving distance this year. Most festivals except IJA are free and charge maybe $10-20 for the show. Juggling festivals are very informal, like long juggling club meetings with workshops and a show. Happy to tell you more about them if you have never been too one. We often go as a group and share accommodations. The CMU juggling club usually has funds to support car rental, gas, tolls, or even hotels for a trip. I suspect that I'll attend all of these except Poconos. If you are interested let us know at some of our meetings. Others: We might try to do our own (*FluggleBurgh*) again in the fall if we find a space, stay tuned. *Cleveland* also used to have one in September. If you are up for flying to a festival, I can really recommend *Mondo* in St. Paul, Minneapolis March 3-5. I'd say RIT and Mondo are the best festivals in the US; Mondo has lots of unicyclists too. The big European festival *EJC* usually has >3000 jugglers but is still in flux for this year. If you are into passing, there is an underground weeklong passing-only festival *Passout* in Arkansas in May and in the Netherlands in December that I can share more details about. Generally Juggling Edge is pretty good for keeping up with festivals: https://jugglingedge.com/events.php?Region=us=Future; Best regards, Christian -- Mailing list of the CMU juggling club: Masters of Flying Objects Website: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/juggle/ Mailing list: Juggling-members@lists.andrew.cmu.edu Unsubscribe/Manage subscription: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/juggling-members
Re: [Juggle] 2:30 to 6:30PM on the Cut at CMU Wednesday
The fair has been rescheduled to Thursday due to rain. I suspect we want to change when we are juggling then too.

[Juggle] Congress of Jugglers Festival May 6-8
Hi all, festivals are slowly coming back. While there is no word on RIT, the students at the University of Maryland are planning a Congress of Jugglers for the May 6-8 weekend. This is the first festival in driving distance in over two years. It's usually a rather small festival, but a fun one. I have been there two or three times in the past. It's about a 4h drive. The CMU juggling club likely has some budget to support transportation and hotel for some members if there is interest. Note that this is during finals week. If you are interested, mention this at one of the next meetings to Gabe or me and we'll see who wants to go.

[Juggle] 5pm, Juggling on the cut
Hi, unless its raining hard, we'll meet today on the Cut outside of Purnell as usual around 5pm. If it rains, we'll escape to the atrium of Newell Simon Hall. c. (I'll be traveling again for the next Sunday and Wednesday meeting after today. If you want to borrow props, stop by.) -- Mailing list of the CMU juggling club: Masters of Flying Objects Website: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/juggle/ Mailing list: Juggling-members@lists.andrew.cmu.edu Unsubscribe/Manage subscription: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/juggling-members
