Halloween and Midterm Breaks in Connemara

The night of Halloween, October 31st is called Oíche Shamhna in Irish and is very much a pagan Irish holiday celebrated through the ages. To find the origin of Halloween, you have to look to the festival of Samhain in Ireland’s Celtic past. Oíche Shamhna is truly a time of celebration and recollection and with that in mind a time for families to gather and enjoy time together
