Welcome Show

Kick off your week of evening entertainment with the Welcome Show Tuesday at 8pm in the beautiful Stevens Center Theater. Show director Dan Holzman will assemble a mixture of talent from within the IJA as well as some of the guest artists for the week, along with a few surprise acts for good measure. For information on performing, contact Mike Sullivan at .

Youth Showcase

This non-competitive stage show Wednesday at 7pm (prior to the Juniors Championships) will feature young performers up to age 18. Beginners and experienced jugglers are welcome. For information on being in the Showcase, contact producer Pam Hamilton at . Stage time is limited, so sign up early!

Club Renegade

It wouldn't be an IJA festival without the late-night cavalcade of unpredictability, astounding "not-ready-for-prime-time" acts, and simply indescribable comedy and variety known as Club Renegade. Beginning around 11pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, Club Renegade will be held directly across the street from the Benton Convention Center in the Millennium Center Theater, an ideal venue for the anything-goes Renegade shows, complete with full bar for those thirsty jugglers in the audience. Performer sign-ups will be at the festival.

Planting the Juggling Seed

On Thursday at 1pm the gym will fill with hundreds of local schoolchildren. This will be a wonderful opportunity to introduce the magic of the manipulative arts on the stage of Planting the Juggling Seed. After the show the kids will get a juggling lesson and an opportunity to speak with professional jugglers. Interested in performing? Contact organizers Kim Laird and Rob Barowski at .

Cascade of Stars

The crescendo of the week's entertainment happens Friday night at the Cascade of Stars public show, bringing together all of the special guests and featured artists from the festival along with additional top-ranked variety performers in one amazing showcase of world-class talent.

Cascade of Stars director Dan Holzman promises a night not to be missed, with spotlight performances scheduled from a long list of special guests and featured artists from across the country and around the world.

It all starts Friday at 8pm in the spectacular Stevens Center Theater, a beautiful and spacious vaudeville-era performance venue just one block from the Benton Convention Center. General admission tickets for the Cascade of Stars are included in the event package, and we expect another sell-out show as we had in 2007 thanks to the wonderful response to the festival from the local Winston-Salem community.

Order your event package today and be witness to another unforgettable Cascade of Stars!

Juggle Jam Party

Festival week wraps up with a casual, fun and freestyle evening at the Benton Convention Center Saturday from 8pm to 10:30pm. The North Main Hall will be converted into a 20,000-sq.ft. party space with a live DJ, music, lights, food and drink, and plenty of room to show off your best new trick, watch what your fellow jugglers can do, and just chill out with the coolest people around: your fellow IJA jugglers!

There will be lots of "grazing stations" with hot and cold finger foods, appetizers, desserts and entrees, plus iced tea, coffee and water, all included with your admission ticket, and there will be cash bars selling beer and wine to those 21 and older. There will be mini-stages set up for those who want to show off or just juggle under the spotlight, so you can watch as well as join in on more great juggling to end the week. And don't miss the presentation of some special awards, including the People's Choice award, to be announced during the party!

Event packages include the Juggle Jam.
