Mummers Festival
If you've spent the holiday season in Newfoundland you likely know all about the wildly fun practice of mummering. But have you heard of Ribbon Fools?
“Ribbon Fools” are peculiar characters, with spectacular rigs covered in crêpe paper ribbons and distinct ship hats fastened on their heads.
Today, only a few people still have memories of the "fools." Join presenter Terra Barrett and facilitator Dale Jarvis as we explore this little known tradition.
This free event is presented in partnership with the 2022 Mummers Festival.
Seating is limited, please reserve your free ticket online or by calling 757-8090.
Four experts from the sector of Educational Creative Technology will discuss the future of emerging digital landscapes for children and youth.
