Philadelphia Juggling Fest …
The Philadelphia Juggling Festival is a full weekend of juggling, for professionals, avid hobbyists, and brand-new beginners! All are welcome at the “Learn to Juggle” station, and if you’d rather just watch the pros, the Saturday night Public Show will feature the best of the best. The Festival is hosted at Circus Campus, in the West Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. Circus Campus features 20,000 sq ft of indoor training space: two large gymnasium spaces, smaller classrooms for workshops, and Greg Kennedy’s Innovative Juggler studio.
