We’ve been bubbling away, brewing up a brilliant festival for you to enjoy. We’ll have spooky experiences for all to enjoy and we’ll also be bringing some ghostly friends back to life to share the story of Samhain for this year’s Awakening. And it wouldn’t be Derry Halloween without some out-of-this-world fancy dress – so keep an eye on our website for updates.
Derry Halloween will unfold across five different Worlds this year, each representing a different magic and spirit of Samhain. Three of the Worlds are located in the city itself, one in Donegal and one in Strabane. The myths and mischief of Samhain will be interwoven throughout, connecting our city to the Worlds Beyond the Walls.
Pick the Samhain Spirit you connect most with and move through the city soaking up installations and atmosphere, myths and magic as each World showcases music and mischief to fill the imagination.
