Did you know that Ireland is the home of Halloween? 🎃

Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of the summer when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

There are plenty of Halloween activities happening in Cavan this October, so plan your visit and spend a spooky night with us.

Here are our top events to look forward to -
