Early Bird Packages will be on sale from March 15th and will be available through April 4th. Regularly priced festival packages will become available on April 5th and will remain on sale through June 14th. Discounted pricing will be available on site for residents of our host cities of South Bend and Mishawaka. More details and pricing about onsite registration are below.

You can register and pay online with your credit or debit card or with PayPal. No mail-in or phone registration is available.
The only items being sold through advance registration are:
- Festival Event Packages
- Donations to the Festival Scholarship Fund
- Vendor Table Reservations and (for Vendor Discount Program vendors only) VDP Vendor Event Packages
ALL other festival items (individual show tickets, daily Gym passes, daily Spectator passes, local resident passes, & additional festival T-shirts) will be sold on-site at the festival starting Tuesday morning at 9am.
Lodging, meals and transportation are not included. Please make your travel plans as soon as possible to secure the best rates and availability.
For information about our festival Covid policies including refunds, please see Covid Protocol.
Festival Event Packages
Advance registration packages include gym admission all through the week (including all regular festival workshops), a festival T-shirt, a ticket to each of the evening shows in the Morris Performing Arts Center Theater, access to watch all regularly-scheduled events in the gym and other indoor festival venues. Advance registration is the most cost effective method of attending for anyone planning to attend for longer than 1 or 2 days of the event.
Festival Event Packages sold on-site at the festival will be priced higher than advanced registration packages, and will not include a festival t-shirt. On site a la carte purchasing of gym passes and show tickets is recommended if you are planning to attend for only one day of the festival. Don’t sell yourself short, spring for the advance registration package and join us for the full week!
Local resident passes will be sold on site only, and will be available at a heavily discounted rate as an act of gratitude towards the residents of our host cities. Our goal in this is to increase engagement with our host area residents, and to spread the love of juggling to their local community. These passes will require a local photo ID indicating residency in South Bend, Mishawaka, or any other municipality within 15 miles of the festival.
VDP VENDOR EVENT PACKAGE ADD-ON
Available ONLY to IJA Vendor Discount Program (VDP) vendors, this $99 add-on to a VDP Vendor Setup order includes all the items from the Festival Event Package above. Limit two Add-Ons per VDP vendor. Purchase through the vendor page in the IJA Store.
DONATE TO THE FESTIVAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND
When you register below, you’ll also be able to donate half or all of a Festival Event Package toward the Festival Scholarship Fund. This fund will be used to help jugglers attend the festival who may otherwise be unable to attend. You can also donate without purchasing a Festival Event Package, here.
