Dublin’s North East Inner City (NEIC) Big Scream Halloween Community Festival is a massive project which aims to encourage community engagement, empowerment and participation.
The build-up starts in mid-September when Youth services begin a six-week programme to entertain and educate young people about harm reduction around Halloween traditions.
The festival itself takes place in the days leading up to Halloween with a huge variety of events for older and younger residents – and even their dogs!
The spooktacular carnival on 31 October is an annual highlight as local families enjoy free rides and entertainment.
The festival is run, managed and delivered by a community-led steering group and our youth and childcare committees provide activities for over 1,000 children and young people in the run-up to Halloween.
None of this would be possible without our phantastic volunteers and the backing of local residents.
You’re all deadly!
