Plenty of time to juggle, hike, juggle, eat (potluck food, but we’ve never gone hungry), and juggle some more. If you plan on attending it would help us greatly if you email tucsonjugglingfestival@gmail.com with an idea of how many people will be here and your estimated arrival and departure dates (from the Catalina State Park campsite).We will be doing stenciling again this year, so bring something to decorate (shirt, bag, etc).ScheduleFriday: Arrive and set up your camp. Food to be shared will be set out on the picnic tables under the ramada and we will setup a fire.Saturday: Wake up and juggle! Stop when it gets dark.Sunday: Slowly pack up while getting side-tracked to juggle with people you didn’t juggle with earlier.For current weather info, click here.
