Lafrowda Festival ran across St Just from Sunday 12 to Saturday 18 July 2026. Dates for a 2027 edition have not been announced.
The volunteer-led charity organises a week of arts and community activity before Lafrowda Day fills the town with stalls, music and three parades. The 2026 theme was Cornish Myths and Legends, with events at the Miners Chapel, Plain-an-Gwarry, Geevor Tin Mine, Bosavern Community Farm and other local spaces. Community workshops at Nancherrow helped residents make willow structures for the noon, 3:30pm and 10pm parades on the final Saturday.
