A 400-year tradition, the Sweeps Festival, was revived in 1980 and has been running strong for 32 years in Rochester, England. The festival, which harkens back to the Victorian chimney sweep days of old, includes Morris dancers and a Jack-in-the-Green ceremony that helps it stick to tradition. Here are a few photos from the festival (photo credit: Huffington Post).
The profession of the chimney sweep is a proud, storied tradition and we're always happy to see its roots celebrated. Need a chimney sweep of your own? Contact Bergen County chimney sweeps Guardian Chimney today at (888) 688-1388.
