A Twelfth Night colonial celebration is planned for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Jan. 4 at the historic George Taylor House, Lehigh and Poplar streets, Catasauqua. The day’s festivities are open to the public.

The Twelfth Night holiday stems from a belief that it was unlucky to leave Christmas decorations hanging after the 12th day after Christmas - or Jan. 6. It is a tradition originally attached to the festival of Candlemas Day.

Join colonial re-enactors who will be on hand to hold this colonial celebration. The GTH organization, in conjunction with Taylor House Brewing Company, is sponsoring the celebration.

The Taylor House Brewing is a Catasauqua microbrewery located at 76 Lehigh St. The brewery offers a wide range of craft beers.

Cookies, cider samples and more will be available with a souvenir glass.

There will be plenty of community spirit and information about 18th-century living. Tours of the GTH will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tour donations are accepted.
