Have you ever danced with a horse's head, or heard poetry spoken in Welsh?
Celebrate Welsh folk traditions, including folk dance, a mummers play, music, poetry, storytelling, and a potluck. Learn about Dwynwen, the unlikely Welsh matron saint of lovers, and Mari Lwyd, the mysterious Grey Mare.
The Colorado Welsh Society (CWS) presents this mini-festival of Welsh culture on Saturday, January 21, 2012, in celebration of St. Dwynwen’s Day. Welsh folk traditions will be shared in a fun, participatory program.
The Welsh Fest will be held at The Kirk of Bonnie Brae, 1201 South Steele Steet, Denver, 80210. Doors open at 5:30, potluck at 6, followed by the program, which is free and open to the public. Donations gratefully accepted.
Members of the Denver Druids will mime a mythic mummers play. Rowan and G.R. Grove will delight listeners with poetry and storytelling. The CWS Folk Dancers will teach the audience an easy dance. And the Mari Lwyd will join the party, fresh from wassailing in South Wales.
