Fairy Day

Fairies have existed in just about every culture over the world, though they may have been called by different names. For centuries, fairies have been an important part of Celtic culture. In all of the ancient legends, these mythological creatures are described as intelligent, mischievous, and magical. Fairy Day falls during the week of Midsummer — a week-long event centered around the Summer Solstice — when it's believed that the veil between our world and Tír na nÓg, the fairy land of eternal youth, is temporarily lifted.
