Samhain & Halloween Celebration

Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “sow-win”) is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in “the dark half of the year.” Carolina Bauernhaus will be celebrating a little early this year with the Émigré band to kick off the thinning of the veil!

Émigré prioritizes tunes and songs from tradition and boasts a very entertaining variety of folk songs, ballads, maritime songs and lullabies alongside lively reel and jig sets. They value the history and folklore behind their music, and during their performances, they use these songs as opportunities to introduce different aspects of the history and culture of the North Atlantic Islands (Scotland, England, Ireland).

During the evening, you can :

shop with unique and magical vendors
enter their costume contest; judging at 8 PM
eat delicious farm-to-fire pizzas
drink locally sourced, award-winning beers, ciders or NA beverages

You can listen to several full songs and song samples on this webpage: https://www.sarosings.com/performances-and-workshops/emigre/. This page also features several music videos
