Over the next number of years we aim to record the traditional ways in which people across the island of Ireland celebrate the coming of summer.

In this section you can find out more about the survey and submit information about YOUR May customs using our online form

Each form submitted will add a new pin to our 'Welcoming the Summer' map. Click on each pin for more information.

Photographs taken on May Day 2011 of flowers on the doorsteps of three west of Ireland towns, show that May is still celebrated in Co Mayo and gets our Survey map up and running. If you welcome May in your town or county then please submit a survey form and be counted!
