This is Halloween!

Radio Riel wishes you all a Happy All Hallow's Eve and Samhain by playing a special holiday program today. This morning, afternoon and early evening you will hear a variety of creepy Classical and Contemporary music to get you in the "spirit" of the day! As night falls, the program will transition to a celebration of Samhain.

Samhain (1 Nov.), the first day of winter and one of the four traditional ‘quarter days’, important in the calender customs of Goidelic‐speaking areas up to the present century. The eve of Samhain was believed to be a time of supernatural occurrences: according to medieval sources the dwellings of the fairies were revealed, and modern folklore associates the night with divination and the dead. The name appears to contain the element sam‐ ‘summer’, perhaps alluding to a belief in the inversion of other‐worldly time.
