Celtic Samhain firmly in Mitterkirchen: a family adventure!

In Mitterkirchen, the fascinating Samhain will be celebrated on Saturday, October 26, from 6 p.m. This event, which is specially designed for children and their families, offers a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the old traditions of Celtic culture. Samhain, often regarded as a forerunner of Halloween, brings people together to mark and celebrate the beginning of the dark season.

Samhain was a significant time for the Celts because they believed that the boundaries between the world of living and the dead were permeable. At this time of year it was common for ghosts and ancestors to "visit" a tradition that also lives in modern customs around Halloween, but often with a stronger focus on disguise and pleasure. With its festival, the Keltendorf Mitterkirchen would like to highlight the roots of this tradition and enable visitors to experience the Celtic culture up close.

The Keltendorf has prepared numerous activities for all ages. From 11 a.m., visitors have the opportunity to take part in a varied program. The highlights include pottery, metal work and baking bread, which invite large and small guests to slip into the role of the old Celts.

In addition to the Samhain Fest, the Keltendorf also organizes guided tours through the museum, which take place on October 27 and 31 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. These tours offer exciting insights into the everyday life of the Celts.

The last creative afternoon of the season will take place on October 28th for the creative minds among visitors. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., children have the opportunity to design Celtic patterns with clay paint on previous canvases, which means that they can create an individual souvenir. A small contribution of 3 euros is charged for the materials.

The Keltendorf Mitterkirchen says goodbye to the 2024 season and would like to make the Celtic culture tangible for visitors in a lively and exciting way. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this fascinating heritage and at the same time have fun with the whole family.
