This summer Vitoria will pay tribute to the circus world, the city will be the stage of the 32th Jugglers’ European Convention.

Between July 4th and 12th eight very intense days will be dedicated to the juggling and other disciplines of the circus, in which it will not have fitted for the tedium. Since it could not be otherwise, they have programmed for the occasion a wide range of activities: workshops, concerts, infantile activities, improvisations, tilts of hockey in monocycle, championships of volley mace and an endless number of surprises.

Vitoria will turn this way into the European capital of the juggling, for delight of small and adults. Several have been the reasons that have motivated the election of the city as venue of the festival: his unsurpassable geographical location (easy access) and his wide offer of facilities and equipments.

Artists like  Loco Brusca, Antonio Álvarez or the schools of circus Carampa and Rogelio Rivel are only some of the names that will show their skills in this event that promises to be so spectacular as multitudinous. The band of music Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, which fuses the jazz and the ska, will act on the 11th.

An enclosure of more than 86.000 square meters, located in Mendizabala, will be the core of the meeting. There three zones will be enabled of encamped, a great surface that will receive the diverse tents and a zone outdoors where to enjoy the most surprising numbers (malabares of fire, air spectacles …). Other stages chosen to shelter the foreseen activities are the Palace Europe, Mendizorroza’s pavilion, the Campus of Alava and the squares Nueva and Fueros.
