EJC 2009 in Vitoria/Gasteiz
The 32. European Juggling Convention took place in Vitoria/Gasteiz and had everything you'd expect from a spanish EJC: lots of sun, shows, concerts, fiesta, and of course juggling!
Thanks to Fabian Nilius, Thorsten Breuer and Denis Rotter for additional pictures.
Here's a selection of all the pictures we've taken at EJC 2009 - shows, games and parade as well as site and daily EJC life. If that's not enough, please have a look at our link section below for even more pictures!

Setup of EJC 2009 For five days before the official start of the convention, a growing group of volunteers was working hard to set up all the big and small things. If the convention itself will be like the setup, prepare for an amazing time! |

EJC 2009 - Monday, 06.07. On the third day of the convention, Monday 6th, many jugglers were awoken by a big BANG at 12 o'clock - the starting signal for basque (juggling) games! If you are wondering: yes, it's possible to sleep in the tents that long thanks to the comfortable cloudy weather at the moment. |
