Lavender Festival

Join us for a weekend of beauty, connection, and tradition at Glen Innish Farm’s annual Lavender Festival. Held during the early days of August, this celebration honors both the peak of the lavender bloom and the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh—a time of gratitude for the first harvest and the turning of the seasons.

Stroll through fragrant fields, take part in hands-on workshops, and discover meaningful rituals rooted in the rhythms of the land. From lavender crafts and herbal blessings to reflection stops along the farm trail, the festival offers a space to slow down, savor the abundance of summer, and celebrate the deep ties between earth, heritage, and community.
