The experience
What's special
The North American Festival of Wales is a five-day celebration of Welsh national heritage that moves to a different host city across the United States and Canada each Labor Day weekend, with the 2026 edition in Springfield, Massachusetts at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel. Organized by the volunteer-run Welsh North American Association, it is built around the eisteddfod competition and the Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu hymn-singing tradition, alongside concerts by Welsh musicians, Welsh-language seminars, folk dancing, films and a marketplace tea room. It stands apart from Scottish and Irish gatherings as the largest annual Welsh cultural festival in North America
