General Information

The EJC (European Juggling Convention) is the world’s largest event by jugglers for jugglers. Each year it is held in another European city (the last being 2012 Lublin/Poland, 2013 Toulouse/France, 2014 Millstreet/Ireland) and serves the peaceful and joyful coming together of jugglers and artists. This year the EJC will take place in Bruneck from August 1st to 9th and about 3500 participants from all over Europe and the world are expected. The EJC-site is located around the Bruneck school-center, the gyms will be used for training, the meadow for camping as well as for setting up Big Tops. There will also be several events going on in the city to which all inhabitants and visitors of Bruneck are cordially invited!

The access to the EJC 2015 site around the Bruneck school-center is only available for registered participants (there will be access-controls at the site-entries).

On the square just outside the EJC-site numerous traders of juggling-goods will set up their stands to supply jugglers and everyone interested with new props. The access is possible for everyone, you don’t need to buy an access-pass to the EJC-site. The opening hours of the traders stands are still to be published.
