St. Michael’s Day was a special day in the Celtic calendar to celebrate the start of the harvest. Early traditions believe that the festival was started by Lugh to honour his foster-mother Taitiu. The occasion was marked with feasting and horse-riding.
We want to honour this by hosting The Sundown Festival to mark the end of the summer and celebrate the harvest.
When: Thursday 28th September
