Samhain Festival 26 Set to Ignite Carlow with a Celebration of Folklore, Fire and Fun đ
As autumn deepens and the nights draw in, Carlow is preparing to embrace the magic, mystery and excitement of Samhain Festival 26, a countywide celebration inspired by the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter.
Taking place from 22 October to 1 November 2026, the festival will transform venues across the county with an immersive programme of folklore, music, performance, storytelling, visual arts, family entertainment and Halloween-inspired experiences.
Presented in partnership with VISUAL, Delta Sensory Gardens, Carlow Libraries , Duckett's Grove , Active Carlow and a range of community and fringe venues, Samhain Festival 26 invites visitors and residents alike to step beyond the ordinary and experience Carlow through the lens of myth, tradition and imagination.
At VISUAL, audiences can enjoy an extensive programme featuring storytelling, live music, cinema, fire spectacles, family events, art workshops and the hugely popular Spooky Scavenger Hunt. Highlights include the powerful theatrical production The Last Witch Bridget Cleary, the spectacular FIRE NIGHT featuring VolkiDĂĄna, family fun days, traditional music, storytelling and a host of creative activities for all ages.
Beyond VISUAL, visitors can wander through Ghosts in the Gardens at Delta Sensory Gardens, discover dragons and theatrical adventures at The Exchange, enjoy creative workshops and spooky storytelling at Carlow Libraries, and immerse themselves in folklore and history at the atmospheric setting of Duckett's Grove. Meanwhile, the Fringe Festival programme will extend the celebrations into towns, villages and rural communities across the county through traditional music sessions, folklore evenings, family farm experiences and Halloween movie nights.
The Festival is brought to you by Visual , Carlow Tourism , Delta Sensory Gardens and Carlow County Council with Active Carlow.
