The Galway Aboo Halloween Festival takes place in the medieval streets of Galway's Latin Quarter from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th of October 2013. It is the country's largest Halloween Festival and plays host to a number of activities and free events so promises to be a superb weekend for all ages.

The festival commences on Friday night with the 'The Dead Arise' from 8pm, where unsavoury supernaturals emerge and take over the nearby streets and windows of the Latin Quarter. On Saturday you are invited to get you're your best fancy dress for a huge Halloween carnival party.

The highlight of the festival will be the Macnas Parade on Sunday 27th October leaving from Fisheries Field at 4.45pm leading up through Eglinton Street, down Shop Street and Quay Street and finishing up on Henry Street
