MADISON, Wis. — If you’ve ever wanted to pick up juggling, this weekend was the perfect opportunity.
The last three days were dedicated to jugglers during Madfest, the 47th annual festival dedicated to tossing things. The festival is put on by the Madison Area Jugglers, a local club based in the city.
On Sunday, Madfest brought out juggling vendors and workshops. There was also a large extravaganza performance Saturday night at the Barrymore Theater.
The festival came to a close Sunday at O’Keefe Middle School, with students showing interest in learning how to juggle.
“The focus of the whole weekend is what you see right now: open juggling,” Mark Hayward of the Madison Area Jugglers said. “You can see it’s just people who are hanging out, sharing tricks, they’re showing off, participating in group juggling patterns that they couldn’t do at home cause they don’t have enough jugglers.”
The group meets every Thursday and Sunday. If you’re interested, you can learn more at their website.
