Come join us in celebrating the beginning of the harvest season with community at Crimson Commuter. We will have local vendors selling their hand crafted items, mediums, tarot readers, & psychics available to offer guidance & messages. Lammas is an ancient festival celebrated on August 1st (or near the first full moon in Aquarius) that marks the beginning of the harvest season and the midpoint between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. It honors the god Lugh with feasts, bonfires, and athletic games.
Themes: It focuses on gratitude, community, the cycle of life, and preparation for the colder months.

Baking Bread: A central tradition is baking bread with the first harvested grain, often shared in a community "loaf mass" (Lammas).
Feasting & Community: Sharing meals, having picnics, and holding potlucks to celebrate the season's bounty.
Games & Sports: Traditional "funeral games" or competitions such as hurling, handball, and tug-of-war.
