Beltaine is a Celtic fire festival and pagan holiday that falls between the Spring Equinox (Ostara) and the Summer Solstice (Litha) on the modern Wheel of the Year. Beltaine is traditionally celebrated on May 1st in the Northern Hemisphere, and it marks the beginning of summer in ancient Gaelic culture.
Historically, the pagan sabbat has ancient Celtic roots — like the other fire festivals Imbolc, Samhain, and Lughnasadh. It was celebrated with large bonfires, livestock blessings, and community rites meant to protect the land and encourage fertility. The name Beltaine (pronounced Bel-tain or Bel-ten-ah) comes from Old Irish Beltene, often translated as “bright fire.”
Please come at 5:00 and bring a potluck dish to share after the ritual. Wear bright colors, flowered headbands, or anything else that you feel relates to the holiday. Maypole will be around 5:30 and the ritual after that. Potluck feast after the ritual.
