Newcastle in County Down is now home to one of the largest Halloween celebrations in the country. With a wide array of themed events, activities and special nights taking place there’s no shortage of chills and thrills to make the most of this year. Starting on Friday 26 October a spine tingling programme of events for all ages and tastes will provide entertainment that will lure locals and tempt tourists during this special season.

This year’s festival will recognise the anniversary of the world’s greatest entertainer, the one and only Elvis Presley. This will be the theme for the Halloween night spectacular so don those “blue suede shoes” and jive on down to the Newcastle Promenade on Wednesday 31 October. Enticing entertainment will include performances from the very best Elvis impersonator and the Housem8’s, as well as an incredible fireworks display which will end our festivities with a bang.

Hallowtides Festival 2007 presents six days of festival entertainment, adding to a calendar of dazzling events taking place throughout Down District. The programme has been organised by Down District Council in association with the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce.
