A Lughnassadh celebration in the spirit of the ancient Tailltean Games instituted by Lugh in honor of his foster-mother Tailltiu. This will be a weekend event on a piece of private land in central New Hampshire.
We will have a series of events both of the physical variety and in the arts, a workshop, children's games, vendor's, a food vendor, and a Lughnassadh circle Saturday night.
Events will include footraces, long and short for Heros, Heroines and Wee Heros, Stone Tosses, storytelling and music and/or singing. We're planning a family event, so this is NOT a clothing-optional event.
