Happy Hallows Tide!

On Monday, October 28th at 7:00 p.m. the Celtic Arts Center will be celebrating in person! We will be hosting a party at The Mayflower Club that will feature a *Halloween costume contest with 3 categories: SCARY, HUMOROUS, and CELTIC of course. Each category competes for a single prize and the winners will be chosen by all in attendance. The Celtic band Banna Beag Mall will perform some spooky and traditional tunes to lift the spirits. There will be an opportunity for folks to share a ghost story, a spooky poem, or holiday appropriate tune or song. Those that are interested in sharing something please keep it as close to 3-4 minutes and send us the details in an email to events@celticartscenter.com. And if time allows, will also have a traditional Celtic music jam session too, so musicians, please bring your instruments and your best tunes. 

We'll be following the usual safety precautions and ask our guests to arrive healthy and ready to have a good time. Unfortunately, we're still not able have a potluck, but liquid refreshments will be available from the bar and you're welcome to bring professionally prepared food and snacks. Individually-wrapped tasty treats will be on hand for our members and guests too. 

HONOR THOSE WHO CAME AND WENT BEFORE YOU...

One of the unique features we've had at our Samhain celebrations is the Ancestors Table. Similar to the ofrenda altar of Dia De Los Muertos celebrations originating in Mexico and Latin America, this is an opportunity to pay your respects to friends and loved ones who have passed but live on in your hearts and fond memories. We encourage attendees to bring photos of your honored forebears who've passed beyond the veil, place them on the table for awhile, and light a candle in their memory.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh — Thank you all for your participation!
