Fèis Chiùil an Àrachair is a community project which has been organised by the Arrochar Gaelic Language and Cultural Society (AGLCS) with support from AMF Events for our first inaugural festival. AGLCS host a number of community events throughout the year aimed at promoting the richness of our Gaelic culture, language, music and arts.   

Fèis Chiùil an Àrachair 2026 will be held on the weekend of Friday, 30th October to Sunday, 1st November 2026. It will comprise of concerts at the main village hall a number of small gigs and sessions at various venues in Arrochar and Tarbet. We will also be hosting Workshops. 

We intend to host this annual event on a weekend around Oidhche Shamhna, Halloween which was seen to celebrate the end of the harvest season and the start of winter, the dark half of the year – a time when children went ‘guising’ to disguise and protect themselves from wandering evil spirits and wicked ghouls on the evening of Samhain.
