European Juggling Convention Ptuj

European Juggling Convention Ptuj

The European Juggling Convention (EJC) is the largest and wildest juggling festival on the planet. Every summer, 3,000–5,000 jugglers, circus enthusiasts, and curious visitors from more than 50 countries transform a selected European city into a nonstop 9-day circus experience.

The EJC is more than just a festival — it is a community united by circus arts, sport, culture, and creativity. Built on friendship and collaboration, it continues to grow with each new generation, bringing fresh ideas, energy, and fun. People come together to learn, share knowledge, and push their own boundaries while building skills, confidence, and connections that last long after the festival ends.

In 2026, this extraordinary event will be hosted by Ptuj — a city inhabited since prehistoric times and already a Roman settlement in 69 AD. EJC in Ptuj will be something truly special. Set in one of Europe’s oldest towns, it will be surrounded by rich history and vibrant culture at every turn. The old town centre itself will become part of the event, filled with spontaneous performances, street life, and shared moments. Everything will be close and interconnected — venues, stages, campsite, and the town itself — creating a strong sense of community. Rather than feeling like a large anonymous festival, EJC Ptuj will feel intimate, human, and deeply rooted in its surroundings, where the city and the convention become one.

Programme

The festival programme is currently in preparation and will be published as soon as it is finalized. The organizing team is committed to creating a diverse, inspiring, and accessible programme for all participants.

Our goal is to showcase a wide range of circus arts — from contemporary and experimental circus to highly technical performances — while supporting creative and world-class circus artists from around the globe. Visitors can expect performances, workshops, and open stages that encourage knowledge exchange, inspiration, and collaborative creativity.
