Spooks Parade 2023

Friday, 27 October 2023

Celebrating the LU FESTIVAL OF LIGHT in ghastly style Once again the ghouls take over the streets of Drogheda for THE SPOOKS PARADE!! Come see the mythical celtic powers of the Cailleach, as she brings storms and the darkness of winter into our lives. Her cold chill will make its way across Drogheda’s ancient West St to eventually inhabit the surrounds of the 13th century Lawrences Gate. Yet even in winter, Morrigan’s Crow form thrives and battles with long eared Irish Owl, only to dance with delight into the darkness of the Irish winter nights. Come and watch this procession of horrific characters march out onto the ancient streets of and drag their sinister souls all across the town from Barlow House all the way to Laurence’s Gate. Six schools will participate including: Presentation Primary; St. Brigids St. Patricks; St. Pauls NS & Scoil Aonghusa Marymount NS.
