Login/Join to ParticipateThe Beltane Fire Festival is held every year during the night of 30th April on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. An audience of around 15 thousand people come to share the two hour procession and wild after-events. Justifiably famous for its intensity and colour, the event has become a much-loved feature of the Edinburgh calendar since it was first organised in the mid 1980s.
so who's all gonna be there??

BELTANE FIRE FESTIVAL. 30th april ~ Calton hill - Edinburgh
SAMHUINN FESTIVAL. 31st October ~ Royal Mile - Edinburgh
as the site hasnt been updated since then, who knows if this years event will happen, im sure bluecat could shed some light on this one as the beltane office is also the te POOKa office.
beltane did actually happen last year but only to performers and was done privately out of edinburgh with no spectators.
PK.

In giving love there is an equal grace.
Nor need one seek the aura in the face,
As love unveils the beauty of all things."

Damn council... (or whoever's fault it was...)
looks likely
though it'd have to be ticketed, is the theory

I can't believe I didn't realise you was giving it to us when you mentioned it on hop! (Though that still could have been another group...?)
