Boar's Head Festival 2025

The 2025 Boar's Head Festival was presented January 10-12, 2025.  

Tickets for the 2026 Boar's Head Festival will go on sale in the fall of 2025.

This annual Epiphany celebration commemorates a medieval festival from England, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The festival is preceded by a period of preparation as the audience arrives. During this period  there are opportunities for the audience to interact with the cast as the sanctuary is prepared for the festival.

The festival opens with a tiny sprite entering with a lighted candle to symbolize Christ as the light of the world and continues with the procession of townspeople, dancers, and musicians celebrating the possibilities of peace, hope, and reconciliation in anticipation of the birth of Christ. The celebration moves through the journey of the three kings, the shepherds, and animals, searching for the Christ Child, and concludes with the celebrants kneeling in adoration as the Te Deum stained glass window shines over the cathedral and blesses everyone with the Christmas story.

The music, dancing, costuming, and pageantry make this a "must see" Christmas event.
