What is the Samhuinn Fire Festival? On Halloween Night, Samhuinn
Fire Festival celebrates the transition from summer to winter through
fire-play, drumming and immersive performance. While the procession
used to wind through the streets of Edinburg, after moving to Calton
Hill, home to Edinburgh's Acropolis, no two celebrations look the
same. In its first year, two processions representing Winter and
Summer’s opposing forces appeared made their way toward an epic
clash.Need to KnowBecause of the popularity of the event and the
nature of the procession, it might be difficult to see the entirety of
the festival. Even if you try and walk along with the procession, the
number of people will make it difficult. Did you KnowAlong with
Samhuinn, there is also the Beltane Fire Festival on the 30 of
April.Check out the link for more information.
