World Juggling Day is observed worldwide on the Saturday closest to June 17 each year. Established by the International Jugglers’ Association (IJA) to commemorate its founding anniversary, the day aims to promote juggling as a form of art, hobby, and entertainment. The IJA was founded in the United States in 1947 by a group of jugglers at a magic convention, originally focusing on uniting professional jugglers. Celebrations include attending or hosting juggling events, learning new juggling tricks, and sharing skills through workshops or social media. The day encourages participation from both experienced jugglers and newcomers, fostering a global community around the art of juggling.
