Howling Halloween Celebrations in Dungannon!


Publish Date: Tuesday, 11 October 2005

The howling Halloween celebrations in Dungannon this year offer a fantastic feast for all ages with a ghoulish array of freakish fireworks, monstrous music, and crazy carnival performers!

The Halloween Spooktacular kicks off on Friday 28th October at 4.00pm in the library with Ghost Stories and Art Classes for 5-9 year olds. Outdoor entertainment gets underway at 5.00pm in Market Square with the Mid FM Roadshow and there will be an inflatable penalty shoot out, Hoop-La, face painting, balloon modelling and much more.

Look out for spooky street entertainers such as stilt walkers, fire jugglers, the headless man and be amazed by the most haunting Halloween ever!

A Spectacular Magic Show commences at 6.30pm and will be followed by the Fancy Dress Competition with excellent prizes for the best costumes. The Grand Finale will be a Fireworks Extravanganza, a triumphant, colourful display of fireworks, launched from Castle Hill at 7.30pm.

Speaking at the Launch of the Halloween Spooktacular, Town Centre Manager Paul Mc Creedy said:

“I am delighted with the fun packed programme of events for all the family and I would encourage everyone to join in the fun and games and help put the fun and joy back into Halloweeen.”


Funtastic Celebrations continue over the weekend at the Oaks Centre, with a Halloween Funday at Global Cinemas on Saturday 29th October from 10.30am to 1.00pm, and a Fireworks Display on Sunday 30th at Curleys from 6.15pm.

There will also be special offers and shopping discounts in participating stores from Thursday 27th – Monday 31st October. Don’t Miss Out! Join in the fun in Dungannon this Halloween, if you dare!
