European Juggling Convention
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Juggling Convention (EJC), is one of the largest juggling conventions in the world, regularly attracting several thousand participants. It is held every year in a different European city. It is organized by changing local organization committees which are supported by the European Juggling Association (EJA). Like most juggling conventions, it features a mix of workshops for jugglers, a "renegade" performance performed for participants, and a public show, usually spread out over a period of a week in the European summer. Accommodation is usually in the form of tents provided by participants.
