WHAT?
THE DELFT JUGGLING DAY ('DELFTSE JONGLEERDAG') IS A GREAT ONE-DAY FESTIVAL WHERE JUGGLERS, ACROBATS AND UNICYCLISTS MEET.
IT IS THE BIGGEST 1-DAY JUGGLING CONVENTION IN HOLLAND, WE HAVE BEEN SO FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ALREADY, AND WE LOVE IT!

JUGGLERS AND ACROBATS (FROM BEGINNERS TO VETERANS) MEET HERE TO PRACTISE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF DISCIPLINES, EXCHANGE TRICKS, LEARN NEW THINGS IN WORKSHOPS, TEACH OTHERS, BUY NEW GEAR FROM JUGGLING MERCH STANDS, ETC.
THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR UNICYCLING, AND THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EAT TOGETHER (OPTIONALLY VEGGIE, TOO!)
THERE'LL BE AN 'OPEN PODIUM'* WHERE ALL ATTENDANTS CAN SHOW THEIR SKILLS, AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF WORKSHOPS ON VARIOUS LEVELS.

WHERE?
ON THIS PAGE YOU FIND A MAP WHERE THE 'SPORTHAL BRASSERSKADE' IS MARKED X.
IF YOU ARRIVE BY TRAIN AT DELFT STATION, YOU CAN TAKE BUSSES NO. 60 AND/OR 62.
(THEIR DIRECTION IS 'SPORTPARK BRASSERSKADE' AND 'YPENBURG').
TO MAKE SURE, YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK THE BUS DRIVER WHERE TO GET OFF THE BUS.

WHO?
THE ANNUAL DELFT JUGGLING DAY IS ORGANISED BY 'STICHTING VARIATIE IN VARIÉTÉ'.
THAT'S BASICALLY A BUNCH OF DELFT-BASED JUGGLING ENTHUSIASTS.
THE 'STICHTING' ('FOUNDATION') HAS QUITE A HISTORY, BUT THESE DAYS - APART FROM THE DJD - THE FOCUS IS ON TWO GROUPS: JUGGLERS WHO HAVE THEIR WEEKLY MEETING ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND ACROBATS WHO HAVE THEIR WEEKLY MONDAY EVENINGS.
LATELY, MORE AND MORE ACROBATS VISIT THE SUNDAY MEETING TOO, AND A COUPLE OF JUGGLERS STROLL IN AT THE MONDAY EVENINGS AS WELL.

AND...
PEOPLE WHO HAVE VISITED OTHER JUGGLE CONVENTIONS KNOW THIS ALREADY, BUT FOR THE NEWBIES: IT'S CUSTOMARY TO BRING YOUR OWN JUGGLING MATERIALS TO A JUGGLING CONVENTION. IF YOU WANT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, THERE'S A FAIR CHANCE THAT YOU CAN BORROW SOMEONE'S STUFF FOR A MOMENT, SURE, AND WE TRY TO GET A BUNCH OF UNICYCLES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRY IT FOR THE FIRST TIME (YEP, WE HELP YOU THERE), BUT MAINLY YOU BRING YOUR OWN GEAR.
(AT ONE POINT WE HAD TO DISAPPOINT SOME PARENTS WHO THOUGHT THEIR KIDS COULD PICK UP ANY SETS OF BALLS OR DIABOLOS TO HAVE A GO.)
ALSO, WE MUST STATE THAT PARTICIPATION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
WE HAVE FIRST AID MEDICS ALERT, BUT STILL!

ONE LAST THING: IT'S ALL DONE BY VOLUNTEERS, AT A MINIMUM BUDGET.
WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO PAY FOR PERFORMANCES...
BUT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHOW US YOUR SKILLS.
