Discover the Magic of the Winter Solstice
during Montol Night
Just before Christmas, Penzance is taken over by
masked and disguised people who seem to be floating through the
allies of the harbour town setting it alight with a 'River of Fire'.
This fascinating procession is part of the Montol Festival which is a
six day art and community festivity and takes place on the day of the
Winter Solstice, always around the 21st of December.
