34th Annual Groundhog Day Jugglers Festival

You'll find jugglers, unicyclists, hoopers, kendama, live music and family fun for all ages at the annual Groundhog Day Jugglers Festival. Know how to juggle? Want to pick up a few new tricks? Just like to watch and maybe learn how to juggle? 

Competition for the famous PHIL award happens Saturday at 2pm. Rules for the juggling competition are simple -- each competitor has 4 minutes, anything goes (NO FIRE!). Judges are selected from the audience and their only qualification is "no knowledge of juggling". The fire and light show is at 9:30pm on Saturday in the courtyard before the Late Night Cabaret.

Registration is $20 (includes a raffle ticket and admission to the Late Night Cabaret) for festival participants.   The Groundhog Festival show on Saturday at 2pm is free to spectators and the public at large.  The festival is put on by the Atlanta Jugglers Association, a non-profit organization and donations are graciously accepted.

Hours for the Festival:
Friday: 5pm - 10pm
Saturday:  10am - 10pm
Sunday:  11am - 5pm
