At Lammas we honor the past with a feast of bread to celebrate grain from ancient cultures. Because of its association with Lugh - warrior, king, master craftsman, savior - it is also a traditional time of year for craft and music festivals.
Folks gather and feast as skilled artisans showcase their workmanship and sell their creations.
