Limerick City and County Council kicks off the much-anticipated Halloween in Limerick campaign today (Monday 07 October), promising a spine-chilling array of events and activities from October 25 to November 3, 2024.

This 10-day celebration will transform Limerick into a hub of Halloween excitement.

Feast your eyeballs on the spectacular Lumen Street Theatre's Fire and Shadows Parade. Expect the city’s streets to be filled with ghosts, ghouls, and hundreds of onlookers in their spookiest attire.

Are you brave enough to face your fears at Limerick’s Scare Factory or on Castleconnell Fright Fest’s Scary Trail?

Have a fangtastic time with Bats in the City or experience Horror Movie Soundtracks by candlelight at Saint Mary's Cathedral.

From pumpkin patches and witches magic to a night-time kayak trip on the river Shannon, Limerick has events to suit everyone.

There is loads more to explore in the handy Halloween in Limerick 2024 Guide.
