Getting Here & Getting Around
27 - 31 October 2023
With music, fire, feasting and merriment
across Ireland’s Ancient East, join us to
celebrate the Celtic New Year with the spirits
of Halloween. Roaming the darkness like a
shadowy spectre, the shape-shifting spirit
of Púca comes alive!
Through the spectacular nights at Púca Festival,
we salute the Halloween spirits through folklore,
food, comedy and music reopening the pathways
of reflection and celebration carved by
travellers over 2,000 years ago, and lighting
up the night sky with awe-inspiring and
unearthly illuminations.For up-to-date details

According to legend, Samhain, the ancient Celtic
Festival that we now call Halloween, originated here
in Co. Meath in the Boyne Valley more than 2,000
years ago. Samhain was said to mark the harvest
and a time of transition, with feasting and celebration
as the long winter nights approached.
