Falmouth council to revive St Piran's Day celebrations in 2027

Summarised from Falmouth Packet's report · Updated 5 Nov, 22:10 · Archive

Falmouth Town Council will take over organising St Piran's Day celebrations next year after the 2026 event was cancelled.

Falmouth Town Council is taking over St Piran's Day celebrations in 2027 after the town's parade was cancelled in 2026. The external organisers informed the council late in the planning process that the event would not proceed, leaving insufficient time and budget for the council to arrange a replacement to the required standard.

Rather than reinstating the parade, the council is proposing a new format. The weekend of celebrations will include pasty-making sessions with local primary schools exploring Cornish heritage, a Cornish food market bringing together local producers, and a ticketed evening concert featuring local band Kernoasis alongside another Cornish act. The council will be supported financially and operationally by Falmouth BID as part of the Falmouth Town Team.
