Getting there
What to expect
The final gathering will begin at The Fountain, where drummers will lead the community through Kilfinane in procession.
Participants are invited to wear the costumes created during the workshops and carry their handmade willow lanterns, bringing light, colour and rhythm to the streets.
The procession will pass the Old Chapel Rooms before continuing to Ballyhoura Apple Farm. The evening will culminate in a community bonfire gathering featuring music, songs, food, apples and shared stories “around the fireside”.
Everyone is welcome to join the final gathering, and everyone who takes part in the Samhain at the Crossroads workshops is especially encouraged to attend.
