Twelfth Night Celebration Returns to the Bulls Head Inn

COBLESKILL – The Bull’s Head Inn will once again host its beloved Twelfth Night Celebration on Saturday,  January 10, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM in the historic establishment at 105 Park Place—the  oldest building in the Village of Cobleskill. The Twelfth Night Celebration is an internationally  recognized tradition marking the close of the Christmas season with food, drink, music, and  spirited festivities.  

Historically, Twelfth Night represents the twelfth day after the birth of Jesus Christ, when the  Three Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem to visit the Christ child. Many modern Christian customs  —such as taking down holiday decorations and the ceremonial burning of the Christmas tree—  are rooted in this longstanding tradition. Over the centuries, Twelfth Night has evolved into a  festive, joyful occasion featuring feasts, entertainment, and playful rituals.  

The Bull’s Head Inn’s 2026 celebration will offer a full evening of entertainment, dining, and  merriment. Music will be provided by the local 14-member a cappella group New Day, directed  by Mark Pracher. They will lead guests through a series of traditional Twelfth Night customs in  song, joined by the evening’s Lord and Lady of the Manor, Brian and Kate Elder. Look forward  to time-honored traditions including the welcoming ceremony, a Wassail Toast to the Innkeepers,  pageantry, the serving of the feast, presentation of the Twelfth Night Cake, and a seasonal concert  honoring the newly appointed King and Queen of Twelfth Night. Enjoy the Twelfth Night Feast  buffet & carving station, crafted by Bull’s Head Inn Chef Nancy Manganaro. 

Tickets for the event are $55 per person, plus any bar tab, tax, and gratuity. Reservations are  required and may be made by calling 518-234-1802.
