In top hats and tails, bright-colored gowns, and traditional white dresses, the people of Helston will dance the furry dance through the streets. The celebration of the passing of winter and the arrival of spring will take place on Saturday, May 7. Helston Flora Day is one of the oldest British customs still practised today and sees massed dances through the streets of the town and the performance of the Hal an Tow pageant.

One day in the year early May. Selected couples dance through the main street. Lots of stall traders line the streets. Full day of activity and fair rides by the boating lake
