About International Chainsaw Juggling Day

International Chainsaw Juggling Day (ICJD) is an annual celebration dedicated to one of the world’s most spectacular and daring performance arts: chainsaw juggling.

Observed every year on March 13th, the day was founded in 2026 to bring together chainsaw jugglers, circus performers, stunt artists, and audiences worldwide — and to celebrate the extraordinary skill, discipline, and nerve it takes to juggle a running chainsaw.

Why March 13th?

March 13th was chosen deliberately. The date occasionally falls on a Friday — making it a perfect companion to Friday the 13th’s reputation for danger and the unexpected. It’s a day that celebrates controlled risk, extraordinary skill, and the kind of performance that makes audiences hold their breath.

What is chainsaw juggling?

Chainsaw juggling is one of the rarest and most demanding disciplines in the world of juggling and circus arts. A performer keeps multiple running chainsaws in the air simultaneously, combining precise timing, physical control, and nerves of steel. It is not a trick. It is a skill — one that takes years to develop and a lifetime to master.

A global celebration

ICJD is open to everyone. Whether you are a professional chainsaw juggler, a circus artist, a fan of extreme performance, or simply someone who believes that life should occasionally be more dangerous than your average Tuesday — you are welcome here.
