2021 — Our 36th Annual Christmas Revels

This year California Revels dives into the Age of Sail, blending 19th Century London with the African American Gullah tradition and Caribbean folklore in an odyssey across the Atlantic. From sea chanties, mermaids, and Christmas carols to Jonkonnu and Papa Bois, we'll celebrate the Winter Solstice through the eyes of Joseph Johnson, a man who lived his life in all these traditions.
​~~~~~~~

We are planning a “hybrid” show, welcoming the Solstice both live on stage and streaming to Revelers wherever they may be. COVID safety protocols will be in place for all performances.
