[Juggle] Upcoming Juggling Festivals
Hi, a couple of juggling festivals have been announced in the last couple of weeks: Sep 1-3 (Next weekend) Big Red Juggle Fest at Cornell has been revived. Ithaca, NY (~6h drive). Eva and I are going. https://cornell.campusgroups.com/JugglingClub/big-red-juggle-fest/ It's run at the same time as the Hupstate Circus Festival with many circus shows on the same weekend https://www.hupstatecircus.org/ Sep 23 Ann Arbor Juggling Arts and Flow Festival is a 1-day festival in Michigan (4h drive). It has happened many times, but I've never been https://jugglingedge.com/event.php?EventID=5901 Oct 13-15 Cleveland Circus Festival is back, organized at Case Western University. Easy 2h drive, smallish but nice venue, we usually go with a larger group. https://www.facebook.com/events/969912514288022/ April 6-8 RIT Juggle In: Block your calendar already for next year's RIT festival, probably the largest regional festival in the US. Usually several of us travel together there. Dates for Poconos (5h drive, usually early March) and Congress (4h drive, usually May) have not been announced yet. We are still planning to host one in Pittsburgh, but we have had scheduling difficulties. Generally, jugglingedge.com is a good source for upcoming festivals: https://jugglingedge.com/events.php 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] Upcoming juggling festivals
At least Eva and I are going too. We usually stay at the Red Roof in Henrietta. It's cheap and okay and a short drive to RIT. There are several other hotels nearby. We usually have funds from the juggling club to cover/reimburse hotel costs.

Re: [Juggle] Upcoming juggling festivals
Hey frandz, Lex, Vaughn and I are planning to be at the RIT juggle in next weekend. We are wondering who else is going, and if there are any recommendations for housing. -Boogie On Wed, Feb 8, 2023, 11:43 AM Christian Kaestner wrote: > Hi all, > > a lot of juggling festivals are now finally returning after a pandemic > pause.

[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
[Juggle] Upcoming Juggling Festivals
Hi all, hold the dates for RIT Juggle-In: April 5-7. This is one of the largest juggling festivals in the US with lots of participants, activities and shows. It's a 5h drive and we usually drive up as a group, leaving around noon on Friday and returning fairly late on Sunday. The festival is free, the show $18, and the CMU juggling club can usually cover gas and hotel for the trip. More information: https://ritjuggle.blogspot.com/ -- if you are interested, let us know... Also, on shorter notice: This upcoming weekend is the Waterloo Juggling Festival in Waterloo, ON. Nice people, nice space, about 6h drive, and I can probably broker some crash space... https://uwaterloo.ca/events/events/waterloo-juggling-festival As the last one nearby for the spring season, the Congress of Jugglers festival near DC should be coming up in late April or early May, but I haven't seen any formal anouncements yet.
