Yuletide at the Bauern

Step into the warmth of the season with Bauernhaus Yuletide, a midwinter celebration inspired by one of the world’s oldest solstice traditions. Yule traces back thousands of years to ancient Norse and Germanic peoples, honoring the return of the Sun after the longest night and the rebirth of the fertile land. This December, Carolina Bauernhaus invites you to gather in that same spirit of light, music, and community.

We’re thrilled to welcome Émigré, a musical ensemble devoted to sharing the rich folklore, ballads, and lively reel and jig traditions of the North Atlantic Islands—Scotland, England, and Ireland. Their performances weave music, storytelling, and history into an unforgettable experience, guided by the talented Saro Lynch-Thomason.

Throughout the evening, you can:
🔥 5-6 PM: Create your own Yule log using locally sourced and foraged materials
🎶 6-8 PM: Live music + learn a few wassailing tunes and raise your voice with Émigré

🍽️ Enjoy a holiday-inspired meal from the Fermentery Kitchen
🍻 Sip award-winning, locally crafted beers, ciders, and NA beverages

You can listen to several full songs and song samples at https://www.sarosings.com/performances-and-workshops/emigre/. This page also features several music videos

Info: Build your own Yule Log using beeswax candles and foraged materials with Casey. Workshop attendees will learn the basic history and practice for celebrating the Winter Solstice, also known as Yule. Leave the class with a beautiful Yule Log to celebrate the Winter Solstice or you can use it as a Holiday Centerpiece.

Info: Audience participation and sing-along starting at 6 PM, followed by an evening performance
