Autumn Tales & Traditions: A Global Celebration

​Explore seasonal customs, share stories from home, and discover the Irish roots of Halloween.

​As the season changes, communities across the world celebrate autumn with unique customs, folklore, and festivals. Autumn Tales & Traditions brings your Buddy community together to explore these seasonal traditions from around the globe.

​In this interactive session, we’ll dive into Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival rooted right here in Ireland that inspired modern-day Halloween. If you'd like to share, you’ll also have the opportunity to share stories, folklore, or seasonal traditions from your own home culture.

​What to expect:

• ​Global Perspectives: Discover how different cultures mark the autumn season.

• ​Storytelling & Exchange: An open space to share a tale, tradition, or memory from home (sharing is optional, feel free to just come along and enjoy!).

• ​Discover Samhain: Learn about ancient Irish folklore and the origins of Halloween.

• ​Community Connection: Connect with fellow students and alumni as we launch our first cultural event of the year.
