Discover Hastings Jack-In-The-Green
For those unfamiliar, Hastings Jack-In-The-Green is a cherished local tradition that heralds the arrival of spring in the most whimsical and vibrant fashion imaginable. Picture a captivating parade of fantastical characters adorned in elaborate green attire, dancing through the streets to the beat of lively music, filling the air with enchantment and wonder. It’s a fairy tale come to life right here in our picturesque town.
This year our very own Vicki Goldsmith will be in the procession herself as a Green Lady Guardian! Green Lady Guardians are elemental nymphs and are a big part of the procession on Monday.
On Saturday they will be in the Old Town, Hastings to encourage people to add messages, greenery or flowers to the green Lady’s skirt and keep their collection buckets full!
