The Urdd’s Partnership with the North American Festival

The Urdd established a partnership with the North American Festival following a generous donation from the late Dr. John M. Thomas. Dr. Thomas was a Welshman who had settled in Florida, but he maintained close ties to his Welsh roots through memories of Eisteddfods from his childhood. In his will, he wished to give young people in Wales the opportunity to travel and perform, as he fondly remembered doing when he was young. The Urdd would like to thank Dr. Thomas and his family for making this unforgettable opportunity possible for the young people of Wales.

The festival week celebrates Welsh culture by hosting an Eisteddfod, concerts, and a variety of different activities.
