SUMMARY:An Tairseach: Samhain ar Uisneach
DESCRIPTION:Saturday November 7th 14:00 – 23:00 & Sunday November 8th 07:00 – 12:00 \nAn Tairseach: Samhain ar Uisneach returns to the Sacred Hill of Uisneach on November 7th & 8th\, inviting visitors to gather at the place where Ireland began. \nAn Tairseach meaning “Gathering”\, reflects the spirit of community\, connection and shared remembrance that lies at the heart of this ancient festival. \nTo overlook Uisneach on a journey through Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands is to overlook the very heart of our island’s story. \nSamhain is a time of remembrance\, community\, and connection—a moment when\, according to tradition\, the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Join us for two days of live music\, exhibitions\, storytelling\, performers\, games\, and ancient traditions\, culminating in a spectacular torchlit procession and the lighting of the sacred Samhain Fire at the centre of Ireland. \nAs part of this year’s programme we have a very special headline musical act lined up for you all and we will also remember Manchán Magan\, whose work listened deeply to the language\, memory and spirit of these lands\, with a special screening of Listen to the Land Speak. \nCome celebrate the turning of the year\, when we embrace the darkness that awaits at Ireland’s most ancient and meaningful sites. \nThere will be limited tickets available for this event and they can be found here

SUMMARY:Diwali Delight
DESCRIPTION:Diwali is known as the “Festival of Lights”\, and it marks the end of the harvest season. As they days grow shorter and the onset of winter nears\, the festival offers a beacon of joy and hope\, illuminating darker months ahead. \n\n\nIn Indian tradition\, it symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. Homes and places of worship are illuminated wit lamps and diyas\, signifying the transition from darkness to light. Families gather to perform rituals and ceremonies and to indulge in festive feasts filled with a variety of sweets and snacks. They share these with friends\, neighbours\, and others in the community as a way of spreading joy and fostering a sense of togetherness and overall wellbeing in society. \nThe Indian community in Longford brings a touch of third culture to the town by celebrating Diwalli annually. The year 2026 will mark the fourth year of these celebrations in Longford\, during which the community aims to honour traditional values while sharing joy and goodwill with the wider Longford community. \n7th November 2026 \n5-9 pm \nTemperance Hall\, Longford \n\nFor more information & tickets\,\, please contact longfordindiancommunity@gmail.com
