Taking place at The Hollow, College Park, Athlone, the event features something for everyone, from free face painting and Witches Cove to DJs, youth bands, circus skills, roaming puppets, trick-or-treat bags and a craft market. Families can explore the activities, get creative and soak up the Halloween atmosphere as The Hollow comes alive.

As the afternoon turns to evening, things take a spectacular turn with a live fire performance by Wildfire, adding a fiery finale to the celebrations and marking the moment when the veil between our world and the otherworld is said to grow thin.
