Come Celebrate Your Welsh Heritage With Us!

The North American Festival of Wales is an annual event held over Labor
Day weekend, which celebrates and promotes, Welsh culture in North America.
The tradition started in 1929, when 1000's of Welsh-Americans, and
Welsh-Canadians, gathered at Goat Island at Niagara Falls for a singing meeting known as a gymanfa ganu .
The National gymanfa ganu continues to be an integral part of the
festival celebrations and is a five-day event with a day-time seminar program, cinema
from Wales, a marketplace, tearoom, Welsh language classes, folk dancing
and more. Evening events include concerts and an awards banquet,
and recognizing the recipient of the NAWF Heritage Medallion for significant
contributions to Welsh North American life.
Future festival venues include: Springfield (2026), Cleveland (2027) and Philadelphia (2028).
