MAZEY AND QUAY FAIR DAY ENTERTAINMENT
DIDHAN DEDHYOW MAZEY HA FER AN KAY
Golowan is back….so once more the streets of Penzance will
be filled with music all over Mazey Weekend.
On MAZEY DAY, Greenmarket Car Park will again be transformed into
‘Festival Square’ where mouth-watering food stalls share the bustling space
with the Folk Stage which - up against the back of the Acorn Theatre – will
host a variety of music, dance, and song all day from 10 am.
Between parades local school and youth bands will entertain a packed
Market Jew Street by the Sir Humphry Davy statue and local bands and
solo artists will perform throughout the town at venues including Queen’s
Square (outside the Co-op), the Acorn Theatre steps and up and down
Causewayhead.
New this year will be a Youth Music Stage highlighting Penzance’s array of
young musical talent on the forecourt of the Methodist Chapel in the heart
of busy Chapel Street and Morrab Gardens will again be the focus for a
fabulous family day with music and entertainment for all ages centred on the
bandstand throughout the day while down by the Dock Inn and the Dolphin
a lively session of rock music will fill the air till late afternoon.
QUAY FAIR DAY sees most of the action move
to the harbourside and our superbly renovated
promenade with the Folk Stage setting up on
South Quay and – as in Festival Square – delivering another daylong
repertoire of musical delights while the Youth Music Stage will
transfer to the Prom across from Alexandra Gardens just along from
– new for 2022 – a lively Roller Disco.
Local artists will be performing at sites along the Quay near the
Boatshed and in the Jubilee Pool and once again the Golowan
Youth Space will provide fun, competitions and entertainment at
Wherrytown Skate Park. Up in Morrab Gardens the bandstand will
again host an afternoon of local musical talent and, of course, next
to all the fun of the Quay Fair, the Golowan Marquee in St Anthony’s
Car Park will host a star-studded cavalcade of musical entertainment
throughout the weekend.
Along with a host of old favourites you can look forward to a
tantalising taste of new talent including the likes of Work’us, The Red
Apple Honeys, Jonah’s Lift, Toni, Jackson’s Claret, and many others.
Full details of Mazey Weekend Music performers
and venues will be included in the Weekend
Brochure and on the Golowan Festival website.
