๐Ÿ”ฅ What a night, Penzance! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Thank you to everyone ๐Ÿ”ฅ What a night, Penzance! ๐Ÿ”ฅ 
Thank you to everyone who joined us for last nightโ€™s Torchlit Procession! It was a breathtaking celebration of St Johnโ€™s Eve and one of Golowanโ€™s most treasured midsummer traditions.
From the first spark at the top of Chapel Street to the final steps into the heart of town, the procession was alive with fire, music, community spirit, and pure midsummer magic.
A huge shout out to all our volunteers, to the Golowan Band, and to Penglaz and his teaser. We had a surprise return by Roger White as Grand Marshal and thank you to Penzance Mayor Andy Law, whose dancing set the tone beautifully and filled the parade with energy.
๐Ÿ’› Golowan is made by its people, and last night you lit up the festival. Your support, cheers, and presence made the night unforgettable.

๐Ÿ’› Remembering Stephen Hall ๐Ÿ’› Today, as friends an ๐Ÿ’› Remembering Stephen Hall ๐Ÿ’› 
Today, as friends and family gather for Stephen Hallโ€™s funeral, the Golowan community holds him close in our hearts.
Stephen was a founding force behind the revival of Golowan, a Penwith Cornishman whose creativity, vision, and deep love of local heritage helped shape the festival we know today. His legacy lives in every Mazey Day smile, every giant, every burst of colour on the streets of Penzance.
We are grateful for all he gave to this town and its people. 
Kernow aโ€™gas kar!
Thank you, Stephen!

Bring your friends, bring the kids, bring your inner child, the Quay is calling. 
Let the midsummer magic begin! โœจ

Why Golowan Needs Volunteers
Every parade, every smile, every Mazey moment happens because local people step forward to help make it real.
Weโ€™re looking for volunteers to join us this year, people who can give a couple of hours to steward the parades, welcome visitors, collect donations, hand out water, support the bands, or help keep the town sparkling.
Who: Anyone who loves Golowan What: Short, simple, joyful volunteer roles Where: Penzance town centre across Mazey Weekend When: 26โ€“28 June Why: Because Golowan canโ€™t happen without community hands and community heart
For more than 30 years, volunteers have carried this festival, and every year, theyโ€™re the reason the magic happens. If you can help, even for one shift, weโ€™d love to have you with us.
