International Jugglers' Association (Sparks, NV) Jul 26–Aug 1
Posted February 28, 2010
Note: The mother of all North American conventions, and WJF is the week before (see here). Maybe we can spend two weeks in Nevada in juggling bliss. Who's in?! If you're interested, email Viveca and let's plan a group trip. Bonus: Keith "Bindlestiff" Nelson is producing two of the shows, so you know they'll be great. Posted as received.
The 63rd Annual IJA Juggling Festival will be held July 26–August 1, 2010, in Sparks, Nevada (next to Reno), in the large, well-lit, climate-controlled juggling space of the John Ascuaga's Nugget Resort Hotel.
