The first Gathering of the Juggalos was held July
21st and
22nd, 2000, in
Novi, MI. It was a two day convention/festival for
Juggalos. There were
free tattoos,
autograph booths, an
Eminem dunk tank, lots of
rare merchandise, a haunted house, an
ICP stage set museum, a
haunted house, two
JCW shows, and two night-time concerts.
The first night's concert starred

Kottonmouth Kings, and the
Psychopathic Rydas. The second night's show consisted of
