Following recent developments regarding the hosting of the European Juggling Convention 2027, the European Juggling Association (EJA) is pleased to announce a new host location.
After the withdrawal of the Bruneck team, the EJA Executive Committee acted quickly to secure a reliable and sustainable solution.
In line with established EJA procedures, we reached out to teams who had previously submitted bids for 2027, offering them the opportunity to step forward.
✨ A new host confirmed
We are happy to announce that, following discussions and with unanimous approval from the EJA Board:
👉 EJC 2027 will take place in the Azores
The Azores team has confirmed their willingness and ability to host the convention, taking on this challenge with commitment and enthusiasm.
🤝 A strong community response
Stepping in to organise an EJC at short notice is no small task.
We would like to thank the Azores team for their readiness and dedication, ensuring that the continuity of the convention is maintained.
This transition reflects the strength of our community:
- Collaboration across countries
- Shared responsibility
- Commitment to keeping the EJC alive
📅 What comes next?
The organising team is now working on:
- Confirming dates and location details
- Developing the site and infrastructure
- Coordinating with the EJA for support and continuity
More information will be shared soon via official EJA channels.
