About this event

A culturally authentic celebration of Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Swords Castle, adapted for the setting while preserving the spirit and traditions of the festival. Part of Fingal Home of Halloween.

Free, inclusive, family-friendly celebration in the grounds of historic Swords Castle.

Honouring loved ones who have passed, this culturally authentic event celebrates life and togetherness through music, food, art and remembrance. Brought to you by Swords Castle in partnership with the South and Central American Community.

In the restored Chapel see a decorated ofrenda (altar), in memory of recently departed community members. Talks will explain the context and meaning of the celebration.

Indoor storytelling for all. Outdoors enjoy Latin American and South American food, then settle in for a screening of Pixar’s Coco. Performers bring the festival atmosphere to life with music and dance.

Please dress appropriately for an outdoor event.
