from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EJC 2006, Millstreet, Ireland

The European Juggling Convention (EJC) is the world's largest juggling convention , with several thousand participants. The EJC takes place once a year in a different European city. The convention is organized by changing local organizing committees, which are supported by the European Juggling Association (EJA) a non-profit organization that was founded in Saintes ( France ) in 1987 . Like the normal juggling conventions, the EJC consists of a mix of workshops for jugglers, a public show , juggling games and much more. It runs over a summer week and most of the participants camp on the site.
