Site opens 9AM

Come escape the winter at A Midwinter’s Day Feast in Schattentor. This year the feast will have a theme of a Gaelic Imbolc .

What is Imbolc?
"Imbolc (pronounced IM-bolluk with a guttural ‘k’ sound) is a Gaelic seasonal festival celebrated between January 31 and February 2 – halfway between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. As the midpoint between the chill and the thaw, we anticipate the changes that Spring has in store for us. In ancient times, this transition anticipated the departure of frigid, lean days and the restless desire to get our land and livestock ready for a rebirth.The etymology of the word Imbolc is up for debate with several possibilities floating about since it first appeared in Irish text dating back to the 10th century. The most common interpretation is i mbolc which means “fire in the belly”, most likely referring to lambing season which traditionally occurs during this time of year."
