Program Description

Body

Samhain (pronounced Sow-wehn) is the ancient Gaelic/Celtic name for the time between times...a time at the end of Harvest when the veil between the world of Men and the other-world of Spirits becomes thin and those Spirits walk the Earth. From ancient times until today, we have celebrated this mysterious and beautiful time of year. We call it Halloween or All Hallows Eve...and you can join Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Barry Cloyd in a step back into ancient Celtic times to revisit and bring to life the tales and songs of this haunting October celebration. A Spooky good time is guaranteed for all. No registration required. 

Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Some chairs will be available. In the event of inclement weather this event will be held in the Gold/Silver/Bronze Room.
