The Derry Halloween Festival 2023

The Derry Halloween Festival 2023

The Derry Halloween Festival has become one of the world’s foremost Halloween and Samhain celebrations. Reaching back through the pathways carved by Halloween travellers over hundreds of years, the celebrations draw on Derry’s rich mythical, creative, and cultural history. For many years, we have proudly welcomed the Samhain celebrations of story-telling, mischief, feasting and hospitality.

As part of last year’s festival, Swan Park in Buncrana will host “The Ancients” Click here for details of this free show.
