Celebrating its 16th year, Jugglefest is a three-day event full of workshops, games, demonstrations, and shows featuring juggling, unicycling, and related circus arts. Everyone is welcome to come on down to pick up the basics, learn some new tricks, meet some crazy people or just chill out and watch.

We're still working on the details for Jugglefest 2009. To get an idea of what's in store, check out last year's Jugglefest 2008 Schedule of Events
