What is Oie Voaldyn?
Oie Voaldyn Fire Festival is a reinterpretation of the old Manx custom of May Day Eve, "Oie Voaldyn", which traditionally saw the use of fire to celebrate the return of fertility to the land, casting off the darkness, and welcoming back summer!
Oie Voaldyn on 4th May 2025 will celebrate the timeless battle between Summer and Winter. Two vibrant parades, representing the opposing forces, converge on Peel beach where their champions engage in a dramatic combat. Ultimately Summer prevails, ushering in the warmth and vitality of the coming months...
