Kernewek Lowender means “Cornish Happiness”.
Cornish Happiness is what the Cornish migrants discovered when they migrated to the towns of Moonta, Kadina & Wallaroo.
Why do we hold a festival biennially to celebrate this one may ask?
We celebrate the traditions, culture, and heritage of our Cornish ancestors.
