GOLOWAN 2025

As it celebrates the 35th year of its revival, the Golowan Festival – and Penzance – is “On the Crest of a Wave”.
Despite the challenges posed by the development work close toGolowan’s “footprint” at Coineagehall, Golowan is delighted to report that the Quay Fair will remain in its popular location on Battery Road again this year while the Golowan Marquee breaks exciting new ground by moving to a new site, the Wharfside Maritime Car Park by the harbour.
That harbour location ties in neatly with the theme this year – “On the Crest of a Wave”. This demonstrates Golowan’s optimism for its future and for the town and community at large. Prepare to enjoy a tidal wave of positivity and joy on Mazey Day with nautical parade images surging through the town in a massive blue wave.
Every year Golowan faces new challenges but with them come exciting opportunities. An innovation this year is that for two days over Mazey Weekend, Penlee Park will be filled with music, community celebrations, youth & family activities, craft & food stalls, a bar – and much more – while on Maze Day, Morral Gardens Bandstand will again host a wonderful afternoon of live music.
All the old favourites remain, of course. Colourful parades and vibrant street music throughout the town, market stalls thronging Market Jew Street and Greenmarket Car Park transformed on Maze Day to
“Festival Square” with world food stalls and the ever-popular Folk
Stage up against the Acorn Theatre wall.
On Quay Fair Day – while Penlee Park continues to thrive up in town – the festivities will continue down by the harbour with the new Dry Dock

jamboree while, in its new location, fresh from hosting the Mock Mayor Ceremony on Thursday 26th June right through to late Quay Fair Day, the Golowan Marquee will continue to provide its own very special musical delights.
Golowan is “On the Crest of a Wave” – surf the blue wave and have a fabulous Maze Weekend!
