Did you know? Halloween has its origins in ancient Ireland, 2000 years ago. At the time, this was a pagan festival, where the night of October 31st was considered a propitious time to communicate with the spirits and the beyond…
This was all it took for the city of Derry to become the epicenter of one of the biggest festivals on the subject!
And it has to be said: the event is eagerly awaited every year! Indeed, Derry Halloween is one of those festivals where the program is so rich and unbelievable.
The event takes place every year at the end of October, over an entire week. And there’s plenty to do: among the highlights is the big Halloween parade held on October 31. A grandiose parade, with frightening floats, outstanding dancers and musicians… And typical Halloween scares!
Between tales, legends and Celtic stories, you’re sure to be thrilled by the parade’s performances!
Other activities in Derry include a packed calendar of events. Music concerts, pumpkin carving competitions, ephemeral exhibitions, cookery workshops, masquerade costume competitions…
Not to mention the impressive fireworks display over the River Foyle! A delightful show for young and old alike!
Because Derry Halloween is a festival for the whole family! Children should also enjoy the illuminated pumpkin show. A show to be admired at night, in typical Halloween style!
