Golowan Festival Incorporating Mazey Day

Type: Show/Display

Golowan, The Feast of St. John, is Cornwall's greatest annual community arts festival, blending Celtic traditions of Penglaz and the Serpent Dance with a ten day programme of diverse festivities, entertainment and music.

27 June also sees the "Mock Mayor's Election and Summer Fire", a chaotic election of Golowan's 2008 Mock Mayor of the Quay followed by a magnificent firework display above the Jubilee Pool.

There are street acts, storytelling, films, walks, fireworks, market stalls, lectures and flag making workshops, all culminating in the colourful parades of Mazey Day, which in local dialect means a bit dazed and confused!

At the heart of the festival is the community, with thousands of school children taking part, alongside local artists, writers, performers and volunteers. Each year has a theme interpreted throughout the festival with giant processional imagery, flags, banners, music, masks, costumes and performances.
