Cabot Arts Presents presents the 6th annual Cabot Village 12th Night Celebration on Friday and Saturday, January 2nd and 3rrd in Cabot Vermont. The festival features an exciting array of performing arts and activities for all ages. Twelve events are featured in four venues throughout Cabot Village including concerts, dance, storytelling, theater, arts and crafts workshops, games bonfires, and outdoor activities including a sunset parade.
The concept of the “12th Night” Festival, though a nod to the 12 days of Christmas, is actually a reference to pre-Christian, Celtic, and Roman mid-winter celebrations which marked the end of the old year, and the rebirth of the new year.
Venues in Cabot Village, include the Willey Building (town hall) auditorium, the Cabot United Church, and Harry’s Hardware. Outdoor activities will take place on the Cabot Village Common and on the Cabot Trails system.
