A competitive Welsh festival of music, poetry, and literature that celebrates Welsh language and culture.
From Welsh 'eisteddfod,' literally meaning 'a sitting' or 'gathering,' from 'eistedd' (to sit) + 'bod' (being). These events date back to medieval Wales and continue as major cultural institutions.
The Eisteddfod is such a serious deal in Wales that it's been held almost every year for over 900 years—it's basically the Olympics of Welsh language, with participants memorizing mutation rules and complex verse structures!
