Marking the peak of the Sun's power and the longest day of the year. A time of balance. Cuireann Macalla i láthair ceiliúradh Grianstad an tSamhraidh ar an 21 Meitheamh, ag tabhairt ómóis don oidhreacht, dár sinsir agus don tréimhse fáis. Ag comóradh buaic-chumhacht na Gréine agus an lá is faide den bhliain — am cothromaíochta. Come with us as we reinvigorate the rituals our ancestors once performed at their solstice celebrations, such as lighting bonfires, dancing around the flames, and jumping over the fire for good luck and protection against evil spirits. Other practices include creating art, building altars, meditating, and engaging in community activities like feasting, music and dancing. Our modern take on tradition keeps it alive and keeps us in tune as we celebrate it through a showcase of our amazingly talented community of Irish creatives. Téigh linn agus muid ag tabhairt beatha nua do na deasghnátha a chleacht ár sinsir ag a gceiliúrtha grianstaide, amhail tinte cnámha a lasadh, damhsa timpeall na lasracha, agus léim thar an tine ar mhaithe le dea-ádh agus cosaint ó spioraid olca. I measc gnáthaimh eile tá cruthú ealaíne, tógáil altóirí, machnamh, agus gníomhaíochtaí pobail cosúil le féasta, ceol agus damhsa. These traditions reflect a deep connection to nature and a reverence for the cycles of the earth and the sun. All significant practices of rituals in ancient tradition that celebrate the earth's abundance and the triumph of light over darkness. Léiríonn na traidisiúin seo nasc domhain leis an dúlra agus le timthriallta na talún agus na gréine – cleachtais thábhachtacha a cheiliúrann flúirse na cruinne agus bua an tsolais ar an dorchadas. Another fundamental element is cultivating our language through Dúchas, our Gaeltacht area. Dúchas celebrates not just our native tongue, but our cultural roots in wordsmithery, story telling (an bua chaint) and also our bua in sa cheoil: our talent for the music, as well as the intrinsic connection to the land. Tugann ár léiriú nua-aimseartha ar an traidisiún beocht nua dó, agus coimeádann sé muid in amhrán leis an dúlra, trí léiriú ar ár bpobal cruthaitheach Éireannach atá thar barr cumasach. Bunghné eile den fhéile is ea ár dteanga a chothú tríd an limistéar ‘Dúchas’, ár nGaeltacht bheo. Ceiliúrann Dúchas ní hamháin ár dteanga dhúchais, ach freisin fréamhacha ár gcultúir i bhfoclaíocht, scéalaíocht (an bua cainte), agus freisin an bua atá againn sa cheol — ár dtallann ceolmhar agus an nasc dúchasach leis an talamh.
