Join us for our Annual Lughnasad Celebration 

In Celtic mythology the god Lugh established the festival as a feast, with games commemorating his foster-mother Tailtiu. We will be celebrating as a tribute to Lugh, and a celebration of first fruits of the harvest.

Wait, Games? 

Lugh is all-virtual, letting us take advantage of all the games that an online platform has to offer! Party games, Jackbox games, Zoom charades, Gartic phone, pictionary, quiz games, and more!

This year we're also be featuring the SCC Chopped Challenge (bring our your inner chef!), a Raccoon Competition (how good are you at picking up trash?), and building our SCC Song & Story Archive with recorded sessions.

We'll also have a variety of our favorite online activities, include crafting together, socializing time, bardic, and other good opportunities to connect with each other.


Event Details

The event will run virtually from Friday July 31 at 7pm to Sunday August 2 at 3pm. All times are EST.

Registration for the event is free, though we are accepting donations to the Sunshine Fund for other events and general donations!
