Hallowe'en at the Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh
Delve into the history of our spookiest season, and discover how the people of rural Ulster celebrated Hallowe'en traditions centuries ago, when folklore, superstition and tales of the unknown were woven into everyday life. Find out how the same traditions were carried across to America - before becoming the Hallowe'en we know and love today!
Have a go at dressing a scarecrow, listen to tales of lore and misfortune, grab your partner by the hand at the barn dance, admire the sights of harvest and taste delicious Hallowe'en fayre like apple tart. Look out for a few friendly witches and other characters inspired by Hallowe’en folklore as you enjoy fun family activities, including children’s crafts, face-painting and a Hallowe'en trail for little ones to follow.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled…as you never know what you will find as you walk the Park!
