The 18th Annual Isla Vista Juggler's Festival

Friday-Sunday, April 1-3, 1994

This is the oldest continuously running juggling festival in the known universe. It's huge, it's wonderful, it's fun. If you've never been there before, don't miss this year's! Highlights will include a wonderful feature film, and a killer live juggling show, with many of the best professional juggling acts in the entire metropolitan Isla Vista area!

Sponsored by the Fabulous Strombolis

in memory of Patty Laney

General Information

For first-timers: Isla Vista is just west of U.S. 101, about 10 miles north of Santa Barbara, and is the home of the Univ. of Cal. at Santa Barbara. Anisq' Oyo park is near the center of town, surrounded by Embarcadero Del Mar and Embarcadero Del Norte. You can't miss it, trust me. The theater is adjacent to the park, as are many restaurants and groceries. A 5 or ten minute walk from the park will take you to the shores of the Pacific Ocean.

Those wishing to stay in hotels should look in Goleta, which is much closer than Santa Barbara - there are no motels in Isla Vista itself. If you have a car, Goleta is quite close. Check out the Goleta Valley Inn, Motel 6, Pilot House and others.

Those on a tighter budget need only bring a sleeping bag. Space is kindly provided by the United Methodist Church, 892 Camino Del Sur, at the corner of Sueno Road. Go to the wooden frame house behind the church for safe nights dreaming of juggling.
