The story behind it
Yn Chruinnaght revitalizes the Manx inter-Celtic gathering concept started in 1924 and revived in the 1970s. It went on hiatus mid-20th century but was restarted to connect the Isle of Man with the other Celtic nations. The festival emphasizes Celtic language and arts; programs often include Gaelic language workshops and storytelling from Celtic myth.
