A look back at past NAFOW moments.

This North American tradition began in 1929 when over 4,000 people gathered at Niagara Falls for the first National Gymanfa Ganu. It became the largest gathering of the Welsh, descendants, and friends in North America. The festival is held in a different location each year, in either the U.S. or Canada, on the shared Labor Day holiday weekend. This year is its 90th anniversary. Prepare yourself for four full days of song, merriment, and camaraderie with old and new friends, celebrating the life, heritage, and culture of Wales .
COVID19 Protocols for the North American Festival of Wales will follow regulations put forth by the City of Philadelphia and host venues at the time of the event. We will update attendees throughout the summer with the latest information.  For questions or concerns please contact  Megan Williams, IHQ@theWNAA.org
