The veils are growing thin… and it’s time to gather, dance, share food, and honour the ancestors. All ages welcome! Whether you are celebrating Hallowe’en, All Hallow’s Eve, the ancient Celtic Samhain festival, or marking the transition to Autumn in other ways, you are warmly welcomed to join the fun! Come dance indoors in the beautiful round sanctuary and outdoors around the neighbourhood & across the street at Fisherman’s Wharf Park.
To encourage Advance ticket sales, WE ARE OFFERING $15 ADULT TICKETS THIS WEDNESDAY!
Come hear uber-talented fiddler, Que play some rip-roaring reels & jigs to get us burning up the dance floor! Then we’ll have lots of musical choices playing on 3 silent disco headset channels (one will be an eclectic wave w an Ancestors theme, others will be Funk, House, Pop Dance Hits, 90’s, etc (as well as song requests you send in), plus we’ll have music playing on speakers, a costume parade and dance cypher around & about for those who wish to join in (costumes optional).
