2024 Lughnasad

Saturday, August 3, 2024 at the Minnesota Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.

Lughnasad, Lughnasa or Lúnasa is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Traditionally it is held on 1 August, or about halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. In recent centuries some of the celebrations have shifted to the Sunday nearest this date. Lughnasad is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Samhain, Imbolc and Beltane. It corresponds to the Welsh Gŵyl Awst and the English Lammas.

Come and join WiCoM as we celebrate the first harvest festival!
