Thanks to our many sponsors, contributors and volunteers who make the North American Festival of Wales possible. 
Special Thanks to NAFOW 2025 Sponsors and Volunteers

The Welsh North American Association and the North American Festival of Wales are run and coordinated by dedicated volunteers who donate their time and travel expenses. Aside from the WNAA International Headquarters Executive Secretary, WNAA board members and NAFOW volunteers are not monetarily compensated.

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 .
