Malad Valley Welsh Festival This is the home of the Malad Valley Welsh Festival The residents of Malad Valley would like to invite everyone to the Malad Valley Welsh Festival this year.

We are celebrating the rich Welsh heritage that has contributed to the quality of life in the settlement of this beautiful valley. Welsh pioneers were the first to settle in the Malad Valley in the 1860s. One of their many Welsh traditions was an annual cultural arts event called an eisteddfod, with roots going back 900 years. This event was held locally for many years until it was discontinued before World War 1. Today, Malad Valley has the largest per capita concentration of people of Welsh ancestry outside the country of Wales itself. For that reason, many residents of the Valley wanted to reestablish their Welsh roots. In 2005, after a 90 year break, this annual cultural event, now called the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, once again became a reality.

A huge thank you to the Idaho Humanities Council, the Bistline Foundation, and all of the wonderful local businesses and organizations who helped make this year’s Malad Valley Welsh Festival possible!

This Festival simply could not happen without people and organizations who believe in preserving our heritage, supporting our community, and helping us pass these traditions on to the next generation.

Because of your generosity, Heritage Square will come alive this weekend with Welsh music, dancing, stories, food, history, children’s activities, the Welsh Games, and so much more. Your support has helped us create an experience where families can gather, learn, celebrate, and keep the Welsh heritage of the Malad Valley alive.

We are truly grateful for every grant, donation, sponsorship, service, and helping hand.
