2022 Events Calendar
On January 15, Puget Sound Revels added to Tacoma Light Trail entertainment (at Tollefson Plaza)
a hilarious, folkloric, sophomoric, semi-historic Mummers Play. It was a great way to start the year.

March 17 - Spring Equinox Sing - 7pm to 8ish
We had a lovely time at the Patio at Alma for Revels' annual spring sing to celebrate the spring equinox.
We were in a covered outside so we could SING TOGETHER! What a treat. Thank you, Alma, for this space.
All ages joined us from babies to 80+ year-olds. We sang folk songs, pub songs, a sea chantey or two, some easy rounds and call and response tunes.

Dancing with antlers!
People who come to The Christmas Revels are fascinated (or mystified!) by the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. So, just for fun, we hold a Bromliad. Come learn the dance. Bring your own antlers (branches can make pretty good antlers – or hands). Or just bring a picnic and watch. We’ll also play some games, sing a few rounds, and have an art project with Mauricio Robalino for children to do. FUN! |
September 22
September 22 Tacoma Sings
6:30 - 7:30pm | Chihuly Bridge of Glass
Singing on the Bridge of Glass to sing-out summer and sing-in autumn. We’ll distribute song sheets and encourage everyone to join in. After singing at various places on the bridge, we'll wrap up with a few lovely rounds in the amphitheater beside the History Museum. Bring a lantern. We’ll light them as the sun sets. Beautiful.
