Attend the Púca Festival

An event celebrating Samain and Irish history

If you like shivering with fear, dressing up in costumes and experimenting with the occult… then the Púca Festival should be of interest to you! This event, created in 2019, is an opportunity for travelers to discover Ireland from another angle: that of Halloween, and Samain!

After all, Halloween has its roots in an ancient Irish pagan festival dating back over 2,000 years! And although the festival now known as Halloween has been exported as far as the United States… it’s no less Irish!

That’s why the Puca Festival offers you a 100% spooky experience, entirely dedicated to the party!

And the program is rather tempting:

light show on Trim Castle, and historical guided tour by night (with its share of chilling anecdotes)
exploration of Slane castle, with a walk through its undergrowth in a particularly spooky atmosphere (with sound and light to make it even more frightening),
themed concerts,
stories told in an atmosphere worthy of the best horror films
…etc.

In short, everything you need for the best Halloween ever! This is a festival for adults and teenagers, as some of the activities can be quite intimidating for the younger ones.

It’s an experience to be savored to the full. It’s the perfect way to experience an unconventional Irish holiday, far from the beaten track! The traditional Halloween party will seem bland after such an adventure!
