Halloween Fest with ShopLK!
The annual Letterkenny Halloween Fest will take place on the Main Street on Thursday 31st of October. The Halloween Fest has delighted children, teens and their families for many years and always delivers a fantastic Halloween buzz to the town. The annual festival is being organised by ShopLK, together with the team at Letterkenny CDP and this year it is kindly sponsored by Kernans.
The President of Letterkenny Chamber, Claire McDonough, said, “We’re very excited about Halloween Fest this month. This event is a must for families looking for some Halloween activities. We encourage children, families and our businesses to dress up and join in the fun. The Halloween activities always bring a buzz to the Town Centre and give families a great, fun afternoon out.”
The fest will kick off from 12:30pm on the day, with lots of exciting activities lined up for everyone to enjoy. Families will experience all the usual favourites, such as the trick or treat trail, lots of family activities in The Courtyard Shopping Centre and the ever popular fancy-dress competition. This year we will be joined by our (friendly) witch, Gertrude for the Halloween storytelling sessions in the Library. Capture your memories of the day by visiting the photo booth at Market Centre.
The trick or treat trail will run from 1pm to 3pm, with local businesses providing treats for everyone.
Children and their families can also register (for a small fee) to take part in the fancy-dress competition organised by Letterkenny CDP.
The afternoon rounds off with a Fancy Dress Halloween Parade led by Pinehill Studio Dancers leaving McGettigan’s Hotel at 4pm and arriving at The Courtyard Shopping Centre for the ever popular prizegiving.
