Albert J. Countryman, Jr./The SunYoungsters enjoy merry-go-round pony rides at the Williamstown fall festival on Oct. 18 at Owens Park.

They have included the Gaelic festival of Lughnasadh, tributes to harvest gods such as Demeter and Ceres in ancient Greek and Rome, the Jewish festival of Sukkot and the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. Halloween was started by Druid priests in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago, and was known as the Festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest.

The Irish celebrated Samhain by wearing costumes to keep away ghosts and spirits. The Druids would light sacred bonfires, the embers of which would brighten hearth fires throughout the village to protect residents from evil spirits and the winter chill.
