Summer

Come and celebrate with us!

Remember the fallen of Gondolin, and celebrate the arrival of summer with Losengriol, overlooking the Vale of Imladris from Imdolen. A brief silence will be followed by the lighting of lanterns and sparklers, indeed perhaps fireworks, as we herald the dawn that ushers in true summer.

Tarnin Austa ( "Gates of Summer" or more literally "Passage into Summer") was a celebration held in the city of Gondolin on the first day of summer each year. It was custom to begin a solemn ceremony at midnight, continuing it until dawn of Tarnin Austa. No one could speak from midnight to daybreak, but upon the rising of the sun the elves would burst into ancient songs, with choirs standing upon the eastern wall. At that time the city was filled with silver lamps, and lights of jeweled colors hung on the branches of the new-leaved trees.

Lindamar presents an evening with elven themed music and poetry for the warmer summer nights to come.

The elves of Ered Luin gather near the docks of Celondim to share music and dance in celebration of summer, to welcome warmer, lighter days, and share bonds of friendship with our own people.

The final day of the annual three-day Harnkegger Games and the announcement of this year's Harnkegger Champion! Today's events include a sparring competition and a swimming race in the icy waters of the River Lune! Test your mettle! Let's see what you're made of!

As the end of summer comes within reach, the Dwarves of Khuzd Belkul and Durin’s Folk and the good Hobbits of the Shire Angling Club will together host the 3-day-long Harnkegger Games, on 27th, 28th and 29th of August. 

Summer Light -Thru the Trees
Summer Light - Spotted Me
Summer Light - Palest Gold
Summer Light - Bright and Bold

I Saw Summer Light Descend
Summer Light, Made Shadows Bend
Summer Light, On An Emerald Pond
I Reached Out… It Touched My Palm

Summer Light, It Fell Like Powder
Or a Floating Incandescent Feather
Came Down, Like A Sheer, White Swan
Summer Light – Lifted Wing-Like Arms

So Sunrays Slanted – Shone-Misty
Summer Light-Beams, Embraced Me
