Twelfth Night - Family Fun

Twelfth Night Family Fun

Join the Rotary Club of Alliston, the New Tecumseth Fire Fighters and the Alliston Herald to celebrate Twelfth Night in Alliston on Friday, January 6th, 2012 at the Rotary Pool parking lot.

In medieval England, the Twelfth Night marked the end of a winter festival that started on All Hallows Eve — now more commonly known as Halloween. We celebrate the night with the burning of Christmas trees, tobogganing and sledding and general family fun. 

Food and drink are the center of the celebrations in modern times, and all of the most traditional ones go back many centuries. In keeping with this tradition, the Rotary Club of Alliston will serve hotdogs and hot chocolate for the very reasonable price of 25 cents each. 

Proceedings start at about 6:30 pm. with fire lighting the sky at 7:00 pm.

Come and join in the family fun.
