2026 Midwinter Revels: American Crossroads
Tickets On Sale NOW!
Get your tickets HERE and join together with us at the American Crossroads for the Midwinter Revels 40th Anniversary celebration.
Tickets often sell out, so order now to secure your preferred show date and seating. This year, California Revels is setting its compass toward home, with an American-themed Midwinter Revels -- a journey through the USA in 1933 and the rich tapestry of traditions that have shaped our shared story. From musical roots to folkways, we’ll wander through familiar landscapes and legendary tales, meeting iconic figures along the way. We look forward to seeing you and having you join us in song and dance as we seek a new direction and emerge from the darkness of the longest night to Welcome Yule.
Abbots Bromliad
Bring a picnic and join us for a centuries-old horn dance in a mystical forest glade. Enjoy a beautiful setting in Joaquin Miller Park as you join the magical Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. Help us continue this centuries old tradition, still danced every year on Wakes Monday - which this year falls exactly on our Labor day.

Audition for the 2026 Midwinter Revels!
Do you want to be part of the on-stage magic? The California Revels Chorus is an experience like no other. It is time to give it a try! Cast members often return again and again, and cast families make this a generational tradition as they grow together. Yet it is the new members of our chorus that remind us of the fullest joy in creating and sharing the Revels!
We are looking for adult and teen choristers, and for children 7-12. All vocal parts are needed.
Come on out, meet us, audition, and see what it’s all about.

Sunday, June 21, 2026, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Live Oak park, Picnic Area #2 (off Walnut St., near the Berkeley Art Center).
You may (you must!) know Shira Kammen, legendary improviser and long-time music director for our Midwinter Revels shows, a star in the medieval firmament with an inclusive take on tradition.
This summer solstice join us in celebration as we dance, picnic, revel, and sing along with Shira!
