Meet some of the best jugglers and unicyclists on the West Coast and watch in awe as they ply their craft at the 2012 Berkeley Juggling & Unicycling Festival.

Pass along the joy and teach someone a new trick. And if you’re lucky enough to be just starting your journey with the circus arts, you couldn’t find a better place to pick up the basics.

Free workshops and events: Watch unicycle basketball, a big wheel unicycle party ride, learn to make balloon animals, learn to do fancy tricks with your hat and much more.
