Beltane Fire Festival
30 April 2009
Join the audience of over 15,000 people who gather on Calton Hill to share and marvel at this spectacular procession. Inspired by the ancient Gaelic Festival of Beltane, with its heady mix of drums, fire, theatre and pagan ritual, this exuberant event celebrates the arrival of summer.
For something a bit different, this annual celebration of the arrival of summer is not to be missed! Colourful, exhuberant and exciting!
Keep an eye on the Beltane Society website for further details about the 2008 event.
