Description
Join us for our 9th Annual Wassail! Get ready for a day and night filled with live music, mulled cider, fire pits and sing-alongs. Bring friends and family for live music, delicious food, face painting, crafts and more! The crowning of the new Wassail Royals will highlight the evening, followed by the jolliest of singing around the fire.
What is wassailing? It’s a Medieval Christmastide English drinking tradition, celebrated to ensure a good cider apple harvest for the next year. We’ll drink wassail (hot mulled cider) and sing to the trees.
The event will be held both indoors and outdoors, so make sure to dress warmly to fully experience the celebration.
