About the Festival:

Step into a modern echo of Bealtaine, the ancient Irish festival celebrating the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Through music, dance, art‑making, and community ritual, harness the transformative power of the “bright fire” returning within.

This is the second installment in a series of four annual fire festivals of ancient Irish tradition, reborn through a modern lens for the Pittsburgh community.

rooted, we rise anew // springing from the earth // honoring our shared Mother // our music and dance // songs of the soul // welcome whispers on the wind of summer’s return
