This year, Enchanted Wave Hill celebrates, and befriends, the supernatural race of fairies or elves―aos sí, or "people of the mounds”―found in Celtic mythology and the Gaelic tradition. The aos sí are said to live underground in fairy mounds, across the western sea, or in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans. Guest storyteller Marianne McShane and her blue harp join the Family Art Project for traditional tales and legends of ancient Ireland. Her lyrical storytelling and soft Irish lilt transport listeners to a Celtic otherworld of spells and enchantment. At 11AM and at noon, guest musicians Terry McCann, a guitarist and singer, and Stephen Gara on the uilleann pipes (a delicate version of the standard bagpipe), the flute and the tin whistle, offer a short concert of Irish jigs, reels and songs. The pair will also visit Wave Hill’s woodland with their instruments, to serenade the aos sí and lead a short autumn fairy parade. Stop in The Shop at Wave Hill and spend $50 or more and earn a book of fairy sticker for your wee ones!
