Another year, another spine-chilling success of Halloween magic in Clonmel

 Clonmel once again came alive last Friday for the annual Zombie Walk & Halloween Party, with locals turning out in force despite ominous weather forecasts.

Not even the threat of heavy rain could scare off our ghoulishly enthusiastic crowd!
The evening kicked off with eerie energy as our roaming Ghostbuster band filled the streets with spooky season classics, setting the perfect tone.

At 6:30 pm sharp, the fearsome Pumpkin Ghoul, flanked by the Ghostbusters, led the haunting procession through Abbey Street, Mitchell Street, and Parnell Street, finally arriving at the Plaza—just as the skies opened with a dramatic downpour!

But the rain didn’t dampen spirits. The crowd danced through the storm to spooky tunes and watched mesmerising live projections on the STAC Chapel. When the Chapel doors opened, attendees were welcomed into a festive haven featuring a silent disco and children’s activity zones, keeping the Halloween magic alive indoors.

The night may have ended in torrential rain, but it was a resounding success filled with laughter, music, and community spirit.
