Twelfth Night: an Old World Celtic Christmas Revel

Folk band The Chivalrous Crickets hosts its second annual Twelfth Night Celebration – a recreation of historic Twelfth Night traditions – such as mumming, wassailing and crowning a Lord of Misrule – from England, Celtic nations, and Appalachia… when January 6 was the biggest culmination of the 12-day long Christmas holiday.

Music performance, caroling, group dancing, games for all ages, cider sweets n’ cheeses, greenery, and storytelling all rolled into one, this is an event to cap off the Christmas season in high style and revelry. Participation and wild dress encouraged!

6:30 – arrival for cider, treats & seating

7:00 – show begins

The show is approximately 90 minutes long. At intermission there will be a trivia game for a chance to win prizes hosted by local trivia veteran Steven Bost. We expect to wrap up festivities around 9pm, at which point attendees can choose to remain for a 20 minute ceilidh dance session and singing in the New Year, or head home to bed!
