20 Oct 2025 We've finally arrived in a magical land of legends and mysteries: Dublin. A place where reality and fiction intertwine in ancient beliefs and stories.
To add more charm to an already haunted place, there's no better time to visit Dublin than Halloween, the scariest night of the year.
If you're looking for original, different, fun, and sometimes scary plans, stay with us because we're going to give you the keys to enjoying the best Halloween of your life.
We've compiled the top events and activities in Dublin, taking into account the uniqueness of the capital and the diversity the city offers. You'll find something for all tastes—various, yet always fun.
From 31st October to 3rd November, get ready for four days and nights filled with adventure, mystery, and enigma at the famous Bram Stoker Festival in Dublin.
It's a truly exciting event celebrated throughout the city, even taking place in several locations at once, such as parks, squares, churches, and cathedrals.
The Gothic atmosphere permeates everything and everywhere, offering special decorations, all kinds of shows, truly impressive parades, theatrical performances, and much more that we won't reveal.
Don't think of the parade as a small street parade; nothing could be further from the truth. The city is filled with actors portraying the legends and creatures of Halloween night.
Legends about Malahide Castle in Dublin tell of lost souls roaming the castle's halls looking for people to terrorize. Dating back over 800 years, the walls of this beautiful and eerie place have seen and heard a lot.
Every year, the castle offers a series of activities and events for the spookiest Halloween. You can tour the private chambers of the Talbot family, who owned the place for centuries.
Both inside and outside, there are places to discover and ghosts to hunt. It's a must-see this Halloween. Will you be brave enough to take all the tours and explore every corner of the cursed Malahide Castle?
The party takes over downtown Dublin on Halloween night, and it's something you shouldn't miss. Find your scariest costume and throw yourself into the night and its numerous parties.
Themed parties, with drinks and cocktails decorated for this terrifying night, will welcome you in all the pubs, bars, and clubs in the capital. Leeson Street is one of those places you should visit to get a feel for Dublin's party scene and enjoy its fantastic atmosphere, visiting places like Madigans Pub.
But this isn't the only street or the only area of Dublin that's celebrating, by far. Among the most important and lively places, you can't forget to visit the legendary Temple Bar, the Old Town, the entire St. Stephen's Green area, and the banks of the River Liffey.
The Smithfield and Ranelagh districts also dress up in their scariest costumes to welcome visitors. These areas are packed with bars and restaurants that fully immerse themselves in the Halloween spirit.
Themed drinks and dinners, both staff and costumed visitors, and a great desire to face the fear and scares of Halloween and have a good time drinking, dancing, and laughing.
Enjoy the atmosphere both inside and outside the bars and pubs, because the street is as decorated and ambiance-filled as any trendy venue in Dublin.
We go back more than two thousand years to find the origins of Halloween. The pagan festival of Samhain, also known today as the Puca festival, celebrates the end of the harvest. A unique celebration in the world, it takes place only from 30th October to 2nd November in County Meath.
Samhain is the Celtic New Year, where ceremonial fires were lit and prayers were offered for the prosperity of the coming year. Furthermore, according to belief, this night was also the night when the fine line separating the world of the living from the world of the dead faded for a few hours.
On that night of mystery, some creatures crossed that line and entered our world to frighten mortals. Ancestral places such as Ward Hill or the town of Trim have been the origin and witness to this ancient tradition.
