Millstreet will host biggest circus arts festival in world

Ireland is set to host the largest juggling and circus arts festival of its kind in the world.

Up to 3,500 international visitors are expected to attend the week-long European Juggling Convention (EJC) in Millstreet, Co Cork, next week which is expected to generate up to €5 million for the local economy.

Millstreet hosted the EJC in 2006 when over 2,200 jugglers attended.
