Home of Halloween in Fingal
Fingal Home of Halloween has an action-packed programme with 100+ events across 25 locations in Fingal throughout October and even into November.
Celebrations of Halloween start as the evenings draw in from the beginning of October when Fingal will come alive with myths and legend, herbs and hexes, goddesses and ghost stories. Many events are free of charge, welcoming everyone and they range from fun family-friendly affairs to an exploration of the darker side of Samhain. Every venue, from the libraries and art centres to Fingal’s historic castles, is bringing ancient traditions to life by merging them with modern-day celebrations that are fun, vibrant and truly unique.
