The Dragon of Shandon, the centrepiece of one of Ireland’s largest night-time parades, will embark on a new and longer journey through the city as part of a major extension of the spooky Halloween festival.

The 36ft dragon will be accompanied by an entourage of almost 300 ghosts, ghouls and misfits and a collection of new monsters and beasts on an extended parade route from the historic Shandon quarter to include North Main St, Castle St, Corn Market St, and Kyle St.
