To Washington State Genealogical Society:

Curious about your Welsh roots? Celebrate St. David’s Day in Seattle
with music, stories, tea, and a fun limerick contest.

Saturday, February 28, 2026 | 2:30–4:30 PM (doors open at 2:00 PM)

Ballard First Lutheran Church, Seattle, WA
2006 NW 65th St, Seattle, WA 98117

The celebration features vocalist Paul Kawabori, a Washington native,
accompanied by local pianist Steven Luksan—both performers with Seattle
Opera and the North American Welsh Choir—along with community
participation in the Welsh tradition of a noson lawen: an informal,
joyful sharing of music, song, poetry, stories, humor, and a bit of
friendly fun, including a lighthearted Welsh-themed limerick contest.

In Welsh culture, gatherings like this are about welcome, not
performance. You’re free to sing along, listen quietly, laugh, or simply
enjoy the afternoon—however you choose to be present is enough.

A te bach (little tea) will be served, featuring light refreshments and
a sampling of Welsh fare, with time to mingle and relax before the noson
lawen begins.

This celebration is hosted by the Puget Sound Welsh Association
(www.PugetSoundWelsh.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing
Welsh culture and traditions in the Pacific Northwest.

Suggested donation: $10 per adult. Every contribution is appreciated and
helps PSWA continue celebrating Welsh culture with events like this.
