MIT Juggling Club
Boston Jugglers

 

Be sure to visit the Web site of the MIT Student Juggling Club. Note that both clubs are open to all jugglers.

 

What is It?

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology juggling club was founded in 1970 and is the oldest "drop in" juggling club in continuous operation in the world.

There are no dues and no formal business. All we do is juggle and talk about juggling. Then, we go out to eat.

Where Do We Meet?

We meet at the MIT campus, which is in Cambridge, Massachusetts; USA. The MIT campus. is on the Charles River, a mere 1.5 miles from that other famous university in Cambridge. Within the MIT campus, we meet in the lobby of Building 10 (named after our benefactor, Linus Ten).

When Do We Meet?

Every Sunday (including summers and holidays) approximately 3:00 - 6:30 P.M. As none of us have lives, rest assured that "every Sunday" really does mean every Sunday.

Who May Attend?

Anyone interested in juggling can attend. No affiliation with MIT is required. You do not have to be a great juggler or even a good juggler to attend.

We welcome visitors from other countries.

Frankly, we're sick of each other and could really use some new faces.

For the love of humanity, just show up.

Is There a Minimum Age?

There is not even a minimum level of emotional maturity. (Stop by some Sunday and we'll prove it.)

Seriously though, we welcome child jugglers (even if they can only juggle three children).
