Malad Valley Welsh Festival

Malad Valley Welsh Festival This is the home of the Malad Valley Welsh Festival The residents of Malad Valley would like to invite everyone to the Malad Valley Welsh Festival this year.

We are celebrating the rich Welsh heritage that has contributed to the quality of life in the settlement of this beautiful valley. Welsh pioneers were the first to settle in the Malad Valley in the 1860s. One of their many Welsh traditions was an annual cultural arts event called an eisteddfod, with roots going back 900 years. This event was held locally for many years until it was discontinued be

fore World War 1. Today, Malad Valley has the largest per capita concentration of people of Welsh ancestry outside the country of Wales itself. For that reason, many residents of the Valley wanted to reestablish their Welsh roots. In 2005, after a 90 year break, this annual cultural event, now called the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, once again became a reality.

We are getting so close, and I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU!

I am forever grateful to every individual, family, and business who has donated toward the building of our new stage at Malad Valley Heritage Square. Every contribution, large or small, has helped move this project forward and has brought us one step closer to completing something that will serve this community for generations to come.

What makes this stage especially meaningful is that it is so much more than a place for performances. It is a lasting tribute to the pioneer ancestors who settled the Malad Valley.

I can hardly wait to see the very first performances held on this stage during the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, September 18–19.

To everyone who has believed in this project and helped make it possible, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are not simply helping us build a stage, you are helping us build something that will continue to bring people together, preserve our heritage, and create memories for generations to come!

Diolch yn fawr — thank you so very much!
