Tickets for the public show available at all BASS outlets (a.k.a. Tickets.com)

The Damento Jugglers are proud to present our Second Annual Damento Juggling Festival! We'll be gathering in the UC Davis Recreation Hall, and have wonderful gym space, indoors from the February climate. But, if the weather behaves, there's lots of grass right outdoors for us to use.
Where Easy Directions:

  • From either I-80 or I-5, get on Highway 113. (I-80 meets 113 in Davis, I-5 meets it in Woodland. If you're south of Sacramento, taking I-5 to Sacramento then I-80 West is faster)
  • Get off 113 at the Hutchison Drive exit in Davis and go East.
  • Go to the first traffic light (This is Hutchison and LaRue) and turn Left.
  • Go to the first traffic light (This is Orchard Park and La Rue) and turn Right.
  • You're in the parking lot; Rec Hall is the big concrete building on the Southwest corner of the parking lot. If it's before 10 PM on Friday, pay $4 at the yellow box, otherwise it's free!
Mapquest also has good directions to the area. But, the parking lot is not in their database; these links show you how to get to the intersection of Orchard Park and La Rue, and the parking lot is east of the last intersection, not west.

Get a map of Davis showing the intersection (parking lot is directly east of the star).

Get driving directions from your door. (enter your address in on the left)
