Events
Happy Halloween! IFTUK along with our Industry Partners Tourism Ireland, are celebrating the birthplace of Halloween — Ireland!
Halloween in Ireland is not like Halloween anywhere else… Why? It’s all about the endurance of traditions that span centuries and connect us with our ancient ancestors.
In the 19th century, when Irish immigrants brought their Halloween customs to America, some Americans used pumpkins to carve Jack-o'-lanterns because they were readily available in season and much easier to carve.
The legacy of ancient Irish traditions linger on in modern-day Halloween. Whether it's the mystical origins of Samhain; bonfires, Jack-o’-Lanterns, old Irish recipes, Trick or Treating or other games, you’ll experience a flavour of old Celtic ways whether you celebrate at home or at its place of origin, in Ireland.
Come with us and get a taste of Halloween in Ireland!
