91热爆

Colour and music filled the streets of Penzance during Mazey day this year with some spectacular inventions making their way through the streets. 91热爆 Cornwall went along and photographed both the Crowst Parade at 11am and the Crib Parade at 3pm.

A Bit of background on Golowan Festival

West Cornwall is one of the few places in the Celtic lands where customs, originally celebrating the summer solstice on the year's longest day, the 21st of June, still survive.

In 1991, through local archive research and the commitment of a small group of volunteers Golowan was revived and revitalised with new imagery and ritual.

One day of celebration has grown into a 10-day festival of Cornish, Celtic, and international culture, culminating in Mazey Day's colourful parades, street entertainment and market stalls, under a canopy of flags, banners and greenery.

The day after Mazey Day, the emphasis moves to the town's harbour area for Quay Fair Day with music and street performers, a Fun Fair and markets stalls as well as a flotilla of visiting boats.
