Discover the True Home of Halloween this Autumn

Did you know that Halloween began on the island of Ireland? 🎃 The spooky season began as an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced "sow-in"), celebrated over 2,000 years ago. Marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, Samhain was a time when the Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. Bonfires were lit, costumes were worn to ward off spirits, and offerings were made to appease the otherworldly beings.
The Púca Festival (31st October- 3rd November) in County Meath reimagines ancient traditions with music, fire displays, storytelling, and food inspired by the Samhain spirit. Whilst in Northern Ireland, Derry Halloween (27th - 31st October) is renowned for being one of the best Halloween festivals in the world! With street parades, haunted trails along the city’s 400-year-old walls and even fireworks🎆 The Bram Stoker Festival (25th October - 28th October) celebrates the legacy of one of Ireland’s most beloved and iconic writers, author of the world-famous Dracula, with outdoor spectacles, choral performances and plays.

[@peadarotuathail]

Halloween is such a massive marketing idea that they really need to push more and more as who else can say their country is where Halloween began?! I want them to do to Halloween what they did to the Wild Atlantic Way which was a genius move. Fair play to them!

[@RobynCarey-k6o]

Can anyone tell me where this bridge is located? Thanks

[@discoverireland]

That's the Peace Bridge in Derry-Londonderry! ☘️
