Welcome to the world famous Banks of the Foyle Hallowe’en Carnival event guide! With a bigger and even busier programme of events than ever before, coupled with the addition of the rise of the ghostly River Gods from the Foyle and further afield, it’s set to be a week awash with devilish activities for all to experience.

The big treat of course is the annual, world renowned, street carnival parade – the biggest in Europe, culminating in the explosive fireworks finale! Be part of the experience! Engage your creative side and show off a crazy costume and join us for the scariest night of the year!

Thank you to the following organisations for their support in delivering this programme.

As Samhain stirs this City of Bones Smyth’s chisel rises and falls on stone Above Bishop’s Gate, Foyle looks up and Boyne looks down Upon this ghostly riverside town Spirits have stirred them, these riverine heads of rock To summon Liffey and Shannon from the Custom House As the Rivers of Ireland send out the cry, Rise up Lagan, awake Lee and Bann Indus and Clyde shake off your murky bed, to Derry we go to dance with the dead All Hail the Rise of the River Gods...

23 AwAKEnInG tHE wALLS in & arOund tHe OLd city’s WaLLs

THURSDAY 29th - FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER 6pm - 8.30pm COST: FREE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES FAMILY ORIENTATED

24 Above Bishop’s Gate, Foyle looks up and Boyne looks down upon this ghostly riverside town, Hallowe’en has stirred them to send out the cry “Rivers of the World awake!!! Shake off your murky bed, to Derry we go to dance with the dead.”

Key Event Area

Over two evenings, light, fire, sculpture, music and performance rouse the Walls awake as River Gods and creatures from near and far descend on the Old City in preparation for the Hallowe’en celebrations. Take an evening stroll, pay homage to the River Gods, discover frights & delights and enjoy beautiful illuminations by local and visiting artists in this supernatural animation trail on and around the City Walls. 1MFBTF
