Dragon of Shandon reawakens for Halloween festivities

A fire-breathing Halloween dragon which spent a year in his cave has been reawakened to spook Corkonians.

Organisers of the hugely successful Dragon of Shandon event, which was suspended last year, have confirmed that the event is back, has been expanded and will be staged in the city’s famous Shandon quarter over three days at the end of October.

This follows the postponement of the event last year while event organisers, Cork Community Art Link. worked with local groups to restructure it into a new community festival.
