​🤹‍♂️ Weekly Schedule Jams ☀️ Summer Update & IJA Fest 2026!

What’s up, juggling fam and flowmies!

​Summer is in full swing here in the heart of NYC, and the energy at our weekly jams has been absolutely off the charts. There are so many opportunities to practice, drill those new tricks, and vibe with the community every single day.

​But as we soak up the sun in the city, we’re also counting down the days to the biggest global gathering of the year: the International Jugglers' Association (IJA) Festival! We at FlowJuggle are incredibly hyped to be part of it again, just as we have been for over a decade.

​Grab your props, text your flowmies, and let’s get into this week's schedule!
