IJA Online Festival 2020

 
IJA 2020 Online is a week long, multi-platform juggling event. The entire event is pay-what-you-want and open to the public, except for the IJA Online Juggling Championships, which is open only to members. We hope you’ll join us! Please consider donating to support us in making this event possible.

This festival section of juggle.org is a portal of links to all things related to IJA 2020 Online. In addition to our live events schedule, don’t forget to check out our workshops (still accepting workshop submissions!) and take a look at the prizes in our online raffle this year. Fest apparel is available from our shop to help you maintain your collection or just to commemorate this strange time in history.

Between our four shows, six panels, a ‘From the Archives’ movie night, a livestream of Drop Everything with Dan Holzman, IJA Award Presentations, IJA Online Juggling Championships, and the IJA Joggling Competition, we hope you find something engaging and exciting for you.
