For four unforgettable nights in October, our ancient Walled City is transformed for Derry Halloween.
Join ghosts, banshees and mystical Celtic creatures as they come out to play on our 400-year-old walls. Marvel at stunning light shows, acrobats and circus performers. Feel the warmth of the Derry welcome and dance alongside thousands of costumed revellers, under a sky filled with fireworks.
