Esri maps over 200 spooktacular events around Ireland this Halloween

In eight days time one of the biggest festivals is taking place in Ireland and around the world. Halloween also known as All Hallows’ Eve, or All Saints’ Eve, started off in Ireland centuries ago and was brought around the world by Irish Emigrants. Now a days you will find it celebrated all over the world, including Hollywood who has used it in numerous TV series and movies.

In Ireland it’s still a big festival and every year thousands of Irish children head out to go trick or treating, but what else can they do? Well, Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has created a digital map of over 200 frightfully fun festivals and events happening across the island of Ireland this Halloween.

Esri’s ArcGIS digital mapping system was used to create an interactive map which features something for everyone this spooky season. The map details daytime and family-friendly events, as well as events for those who fancy more of a scare.

From creepy campfire tales in Belfast and after-dark jail tours in Cork, to a nightmare on Church Street in Mayo and a ghostly bus tour in Dublin, this map will help ghosts and ghouls of all ages and interests plan their celebrations for Halloween 2024.
