There are a few things that really stand out in Celtic culture: their music, jewelry, and celebration. These things typically tend to come together during Celtic holidays. The Celtic holidays are always so much fun to celebrate. Celts really love to have a good time and holidays give us an excuse to let loose and be festive with the people that we love. One of the best Celtic holidays is Lúgnasad. This August 1st holiday is all about feasting but it includes all of the Celtic traditions that most people love to enjoy.

Lugnasad was originally designed to celebrate the feast associated with the marriage of the God Lugus. It has since come to symbolize feasting related to the autumn season which is the beginning of the harvest season. People come together to eat great food and have a good time. They celebrate the food that is plentiful for them.

Lugnasad is also important for another reason. It is a time to let go of the regrets that might have been plaguing you all summer long. It’s like having a new year’s start right near the middle of the year. This is a great time to let go of regrets since it allows you to mend your relationships with others before the Christmas holidays come around. Modern people who celebrate both Celtic holidays and traditional holidays often find that Lúgnasad is a great way to kick off the autumn / winter holiday season.

Take a look around at any Lúgnasad celebration and you’ll find a few things. You’ll find a lot of people eating, laughing and having a good time. You’ll find that there is probably great live music using traditional instruments. There will also be people of all ages playing traditional Celtic games. And you shouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of the women at the event wearing their Celtic rings and other Celtic jewelry. This is because Celtic jewelry, Celtic music and Celtic games are all important symbols of the culture. What better place to enjoy them than at a holiday party?
