About the Event
🔥BrightFire Music & Arts Festival🔥
Music, Art, Fire, Dance, Nature: A kaleidoscopic celebration of Life, Hope, and Renewal.
At BrightFire, enjoy and indulge in local art and craftsmanship at the Night Market. Grab a bite to eat at one of the delicious food trucks, kick back at the Midnight Mulligan beer garden, make a flower crown, learn to dance at the maypole, play games in the field while listening to concerts with dance and fire performances, rendezvous with fairies for a tea party, or bid at the silent auction. All ages welcome!
The festival is an innovative artist-led, community-based interpretation of the essence of Beltane. In Celtic tradition, Beltane marked the end of a cold, dark, life-and-death winter and the beginning of renewed life and summer. It is associated with fire, nature, renewed life and growth, joyful celebrations, and an important time in agricultural and pastoral life. Initially, herdsmen in Scotland, Ireland, and Man, would lead their cattle between bonfires to cleanse and prevent disease before entering into the new summer pastures. Ancient communities celebrated the changing season by playing music and dancing near the fires. They would extinguish their home hearths and relight them from the communal Beltane fires as a unifying practice.
Join us for an unforgettable experience!
