An Creagán’s Mid Summer Festival runs from June 21st to June 23rd with storytelling, entertainers, demonstrations and a spectacular bonfire to finish. Midsummer’s Eve is a time associated with magic, fairies and dancing. On the eve of Midsummer’s Day, many bonfires were lit all over the country. This was in praise of the sun, for the days were getting shorter so people would light fires to try and strengthen the sun. Sunday will see a gathering of wonderful sights and sounds from a didgeridoo playing story teller, a chainsaw carver, a woodland fairy, a mythological tree lady as well as a host of demonstrations from local crafters. There will be lots for the smaller children as well including tumbletots, musical stars, bouncy castles and face painting. The event will finish with a great wild bonfire and lantern parade.
