Golowan Festival - Penzance
What’s it all about?
In the late 1800s, Golowan was one of the last surviving midsummer festivals practiced in Cornwall. Traditionally, blazing tar barrels were paraded around the town’s streets and bonfires were lit on the surrounding hills which could be seen all around Mounts Bay and beyond. In the 1890s the authorities in Penzance outlawed the festival due to the increasing fire risk and the centuries’ old festival died out. Revived in 1991, The Golowan Festival has today become the most colourful community festival in the South West, blending Cornish tradition with contemporary imagery and ritual.
What happens?
The festival brings the past and present together in a community celebration of the traditional midsummer Feast of St John. The festival has a packed programme of artists in celebration of music, performing arts and theatre. Events include a fireworks display on the prom, Mazey Day, spectacular parades through the streets and a host of street entertainment.
How can you take part?
The festival is one big spectacle and to say there is a lot to see and do is probably an understatement. Listen to traditional music played by the Golowan Band, don’t miss Penglaz, the Penzance ‘Obby ‘Oss that makes an appearance on St John’s Eve and you can take part in the Serpent Dances when everyone joins hands and snakes through the streets. There’s also the Quay Fair where you’ll find stalls selling local food, arts and crafts, the fun Mock Mayor Elections and the Summer Fire celebrations featuring a spectacular firework display. One of the highlights of the festival is Mazey Day (24-25 June 2017) when the streets of Penzance are decorated with greenery and locals and school children dressed in colourful costumes process around the town carrying spectacular sculptures based on local themes including giant fish, ships and pirates.

Perranporth beach is hosting the Tunes in the Dunes festival on the May Bank Holiday. Set to be one of the biggest festivals on the summer calendar
The festival is the brainchild of Tommy Job, director of Perranporth’s Watering Hole, which has quickly become Cornwall’s leading live music venue and boasts the title of the UK’s only bar on a beach. In collaboration with long time festival organiser’s Ben Hall and Ian Whittaker of Electric Beach and The Little Orchard Cider and Music Festival, the threesome have created an opportunity for audiences across the UK to witness some of their favourite acts in a unique setting overlooking the Atlantic and nestled against the sand dunes of Perranporth bay. Job says “After 35 years of success at the Watering Hole it is great to see something major happening on the sands of Perranporth Beach, it’s an amazing opportunity for us to give back to the local community’s support and look forward to bringing in the thousands to share our special location with.”
Over the three days, Tunes in the Dunes is also hosting the British Longboard Champs and with key beer sponsor Korev Lager and cider sponsor Rattler, attendees will be able to sit back and relax with a drink, great music and surf during the day. For ticket prices of £85 for the whole weekend and day tickets starting at £30 available it is a not to be missed May Bank Holiday party for the whole family!
