Event Details

California Revels

Bring a picnic and join us for a centuries-old horn dance in a mystical forest glade. Enjoy a beautiful setting in Joaquin Miller Park as you join the magical Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. Help us continue this centuries old tradition, still danced every year on Wakes Monday – which this year falls exactly on our Labor day.

Bring a picnic! Bring a musical instrument for a jam session.

Learn the dance and become one of the deer or one of the characters. We bring along a collection of antlers, umbrellas, and hobby horses!
