Dates have been confirmed for this year's event with celebrations to take over the city's streets from October 28-31
It's Europe's largest Halloween celebration and this week Zombies have taken over the city of Derry to launch the annual Halloween festivital programme.If you were out and about in Derry’s city centre this week, don’t worry the Zombie Apocalypse is not upon us just yet – but a few of the walking dead may have arisen specially to help launch Derry Halloween.
"It will be a real highlight of the festival, which this year will take place over four days featuring a fantastic array of activities and entertainment for all ages. The Zombies will fit in well with the many witches, wizards, ghosts and ghouls who will be crossing over from the spirit world to join in the celebrations which attract over 100,000 revellers each year.
Delegates will then have the opportunity to don their best blood-soaked apparel and join in the wider Halloween festivities, including the carnival parade, which will take over the city centre on Halloween night. On Halloween night itself hundreds of performers from schools and groups across Derry and Strabane will then take to the streets for the annual carnival parade, followed by a thrilling fireworks finale over the River Foyle.
Chief Executive of Visit Derry, Odhran Dunne, said the city was gearing up to welcome thousands of international visitors. “Over the years Derry has established itself as the place to visit at Halloween, and the scale and quality of our celebrations are second to none. Our visitor numbers have been steadily rising post-pandemic, and we’re delighted to see our tourism offering growing to meet that demand.
