Golowan is a 10-day festival of arts, performances, culture and parades.
The 2024 Golowan theme ‘Together, We Shine’ celebrates all that is brilliant and inspirational about our community, past and present.
Together, We Shine. Think: Humphry Davy, Mousehole Xmas lights & Newlyn fireworks, our firemen or lifeboat crews, those who run the food bank, that person who opens the church so the homeless can sleep safe and dry. The moon, the stars, our traditions such as torchlit ceremonies and fire in the streets, Montol. The refugees, welcomed, have a generosity of spirit which, despite such hardship, shines for us all. The people behind the Pride march or those underneath the street food project. Let’s celebrate them. And don’t forget our lovely shiny selves –what are you going to wear, or do? How will you shine for Golowan?
