🌟 Thank You from the Kernewek Lowender! 🌟

As the final echoes of laughter, music, and maypole dancing fade, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the 2025 Kernewek Lowender such a vibrant celebration of Cornish heritage and community spirit.

To our incredible volunteers and dedicated committee members – your tireless efforts behind the scenes are the true engine of this festival. We simply couldn’t do it without you.

To the thousands who attended from near and far, thank you for joining us in keeping the Cornish spirit alive on the Copper Coast. Your enthusiasm, costumes, and community pride made every event special.

A huge shout-out to all the school children who danced, sang, marched, and performed with such joy and energy – you were the heart and soul of the festival. Your talent and smiles brought tradition to life.

From pasties to parades – thank you for being a part of something truly memorable.

See you again in 2027! 🌿
