Portland Juggler's Weekly Gathering
Wanna Play?

Weekly juggling at Reed College

Join our mailing list at https://heylo.group/portlandjugglers to stay informed of weekly juggling at Reed College's Sports Center!  The Heylo app is not required; you can use their website and your email. Up-to-date information about juggling at Reed College and other events will be announced to the mailing list.

We meet on Wednesdays from 7 - 9 PM at the Reed College Sports Center. Please see the events on our Heylo group (see above) for instructions.

With the brand new gym floors, Reed College requires:

  1. No outdoor/street shoes in the gym. Attendees may wear indoor shoes, slippers, socks, or be barefoot. Please bring clean shoes if you don't want to wear socks or be barefoot.

  2. All club screws must be covered. PJF will be providing, at $1 per knob donation to Portland Jugglers, polyurethane replacement knobs with built-in screw covers. These knobs are very durable and come in four colors: Black, white, red, shiny gold. PLEASE BE PREPARED TO MODIFY YOUR CLUBS! The Portland Jugglers will have a table set up with screwdrivers and assistants so you can switch your knobs. No unmodified clubs allowed in gym unless they were built without exposed screws (e.g., Renegade clubs).

About the Portland Jugglers

Gatherings are open to the public and free. All kinds of juggling, object manipulation, and circus skills are embraced. We are famously playful and generous with the sharing of our juggling knowledge.​

The Portland Jugglers is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to increasing the appreciation and enjoyment of juggling and its affiliated arts.


Reed College began offering juggling as a PE class in 1979, and it was open to the public who frequently brought new skills to the college class. The public component grew into the Portland Jugglers, and we meet weekly concurrent with the college class. Additionally, we have hosted the Portland Juggling Festival at Reed nearly every year of the festival's existence. In the winter of 2020 the Sports Center gyms collapsed during an ice storm, the rebuilt Sports Center with a new gym opened in autumn of 2024. We are grateful to Reed College for helping foster Portland's vibrant juggling community.
