Derry Halloween goes digital

An exciting programme of online activities and entertainment has been launched for Derry Halloween 2020.

While this year’s event won’t see thousands of revellers flocking to the city as usual, local people at home and abroad are being urged to get involved in the virtual celebrations and keep the spirit of the festival alive.

The digital line-up (available at derryhalloween.com/highlights) includes Little Horrors storytelling, Samhain Sessions gigs, and online tutorials in everything from costume-creating to lantern-making. The North West Carnival Initiative – the team behind the annual parade – will also be working with the local community on a series of activities.

And it wouldn’t be Derry Halloween without fancy dress – so wherever you are in the world, get creative and share your costumes on social media using the hashtag #derryhalloween
