Why ghouls just want to have festival fun


Monday October 26 2009

Yesterday the people of a small Meath town put on a special festival to celebrate the fact that the pagan origins of Halloween lie on a small hill known as Tlachtga near the town of Athboy.

Pictured enjoying themselves at the Pucas and Potions Children's Arts Festival in Athboy were Naava, Aria and Freya Dunne from Naas, Co Kildare.

The 'Spirits of Meath, where Halloween began' festival runs for the coming week -- with a range of events for adults and children.

Despite the darker evenings, hundreds of revellers enjoyed themselves yesterday at the 2009 Irish Conker championships in Kilkenny and swinging to some of the best jazz in the world in Cork.
