Celtic Festivals

Celtic festivals celebrate the cultural heritage of the Celtic peoples, primarily in regions like Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of Brittany and Galicia. These events often mark seasonal changes and ancient traditions, with key festivals including Samhain (Halloween), Imbolc (Spring) Beltane (Summer), and Lughnasadh (Harvest). They typically feature music, dance, storytelling, and crafts, reflecting Celtic history and mythology. Modern celebrations may blend ancient customs with contemporary practices, fostering community spirit and cultural appreciation. These festivals not only honor the past but also rejuvenate local traditions and strengthen cultural identity.
