The Irish are a celebratory people ready to rejoice in life at the beat of a drum, a note from a song and a burst of laughter. Joseph joins the party when he celebrates Halloween in Ireland's Ancient East, an area rich in history, myths and legends, and views this beautiful part of the island through the prism of two festivals. The Puca Festival is an ancient observance reborn and the Wexford Festival Opera illustrates Irish's devotion to community. At the Puca Festival Joseph joins the commemoration of the Celtic New Year, Samhain (pronounced Sow-In), which dates back more than 2,500 years. At the Wexford Opera Festival he spotlights the festival's 70 years of featuring unknown national and international composers with the support of more than 400 community volunteers. In between the festivities, Joseph samples a taste of the island in castles, country homes, markets, pubs and restaurants. It's clear that Ireland has much to celebrate - its heritage and culture, its struggles and survival, its scenic beauty and natural attractions - and we're all invited to join in the revelry.
