Translation[edit]

I just translated this article from the article on the Catalan Wikipedia, but my Catalan is nowhere near perfect, so it could do with some checking. —Celestianpower ^háblame 17:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

La Castanyada is not a "festival". Festa popular in this case means traditional culture, but I don't know how to translate it to english 100%. --Catalaalatac (talk) 12:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that festival is a fairly close translation. Festival in English has a broad meaning, from large events involving millions of people, to small ones involving just a few. Another possibility would be to use 'tradition', i.e. 'The Castanyada is a Catalan tradition ...' where the following information would define the content of the tradition. I would still probably stick with 'festival' though. Djlloyd45 (talk) 07:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mogosto, etc.[edit]

I'm not sure these ought to be included in this article, as - correct me if I'm wrong - they appear to be completely separate festivals, but just with similar themes. At the very least - if they are to stay - the article would need to be called something else ('Chestnut Festivals in the Iberian Peninsula' or something a bit more catchy perhaps...) What do people think? —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:19, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The origin and the time of both festivals is practically the same. Nevertheless the name ethimology is more complicated in Galician, maybe a Celtic origin word. I think that they must be included in the same article, but the article name should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.147.114.150 (talk) 21:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Magosto is only Galician[edit]

The Magosto is a holiday celebrated with samhain, it was to honor Bridgig (Brigida in Galician)--Bretema7 (talk) 01:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Magosto is Galician, Asturian and from Northern Portugal[edit]

The Magosto holiday is celebrated in Galicia, northern Portugal, Asturias and some provinces like Leon. Its much more relevant and popular than Castañada aswell. --Sage78 (User talk:Sage78) 15:13, 24 September 2017 (GMT)

date?[edit]

Just read the article and it left me wondeirng when this is celebrated? Google says usually Nov 1st/All Saints Day? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremytarling (talk • contribs) 17:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pls change the name[edit]

The "magosto" means totally different things than "castanyada", they're totally different parties (they r not a party btw). Only eating chestnuts is similar. Pls make two pages. Garrote20 (talk) 20:25, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
