GALWAY ABOO HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL 2023

Something spooktacular is taking place in Galway this Halloween Bank Holiday Weekend. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the October bank holiday weekend, the city’s medieval streets will host many fun and free events planned for the weekend with high-spirits guaranteed. The fiendishly creative Macnas Halloween Parade is expected to return, bringing up to 80,000 spectators onto the streets for the standout event of the season.
 
It’s that time of year again, when the veil between this world and the other is at its thinnest. And at this special time of year, you would be well advised to disguise yourself so the ghouls won’t find you! So dig out your costumes and join us for an afternoon of Spooky Arts & Crafts, Chilling Stories with a master storyteller, notions, potions and lotions with the Wacky Witch, Hunting for the Púca.
 
Hallowe’en fun for kids begins at Turoe Pet Farm’s with their indoor soft play jungles, all decorated and ready for a spooky seasonal experience.. Children can take to the slides, ball pits and rope ladders of “Jungle City”, or leap and bounce on the massive “Inflatable City”. Face painting and balloon modelling along with a fancy dress parade at 4pm followed by Disco with DJ Corky and Special Mascots. An afternoon of great fun and entertainment is promised along with hot food and refreshments.
 
Slieve Aughty are planning a spooktacular family experience at their annual Halloween festival. Enjoy the beauty of autumn with a walk through the countryside of South Galway or a pony ride to Bloody Mary’s Haunted House, or take the little ones on a witch’s walk in the Enchanted Wood. If you’re lucky (or unlucky!) you might encounter ghosts, witches or other spooky Halloween creatures hiding in the forest. Answer the fun Halloween puzzles to help find your way! Kids can pet the animals, get spooky faces with face painting, dress up in a silly costume, and make some Halloween arts and crafts.
