This Halloween (Samhain, Gaeilge), the Hare waits for your messages to carry them into the realm of the ones that came before.
Send your words—to loved ones gone, to ancestors known and unknown, to the other world.
They will be placed within the effigy at Grilse Gallery in Killorglin, County Kerry, starting on Sunday Oct 19th during the event’s launch, and on Oct 31st as fire meets night, your messages will rise into the ether and be carried beyond the boundaries of this world.
Part of An Féile Eile, Killorglin’s festival of Halloween magic, the hare is our otherworldly courier—swift, liminal, and unbound by mortal borders.
Launch Party - Oct 19th
The Burning of the Hare - Oct 31st
Messages arriving by Oct 31st will be included in the 2025 Samhain ceremony.
