Question: When is Lammas/Lughnasadh 2011?
Lammas, or Lughnasadh, celebrates the early harvest. When does Lammas fall in 2011?
Answer:

Lammas is a time to honor the spirit of the grain harvest. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is always celebrated on August 1. Pagans and Wiccans in the Southern Hemisphere typically celebrate it on February 1.

Unlike solstice and equinox celebrations, this date does not change from year to year.
