Beltane - A Celtic Tradition

Beltane is a deeply rooted Scottish tradition typically celebrated on May 1st, the half way point between Spring and Summer.  It’s also considered a time when the boundary between our world and the fairy world is thin, and serves as a celebration of fire, fertility and the return of summer.

Join us for this joyous occasion at St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church, 3257 Post Rd, Warwick as we celebrate these time honored traditions. We’ll have offerings to the Wild Fae, crafts, celebration ribbons, food & drinks, and lots more – All ages welcome!

Buy tickets on-line, or send your check made payable to SASRI, Inc. to Gail Kelleher, 55 Alhambra Circle, Cranston, RI (write Beltane in the memo section please).  Ticket Sales End May 1st!

Members: $5 per family                                                                                              Non-members: $10 per family
