About the Festival
The Spirits of Meath Festival has been running for over 12 years now and attracts visitors from all over the country. According to legend, Samhain, the ancient Celtic Festival that we now call Halloween, originated here in Boyne Valley Samhain was said to mark the harvest and a time of transition, with feasting and celebration as the long winter nights approached. To this day the Boyne Valley has remained the home of Halloween, the modern equivalent of Samhain. Whether is ‘Fun by Day’ or ‘Fright by Night’, spine-tingling fun awaits for young and old alike in the Spirits of Meath festival. All events in the festival are run by businesses within the Boyne Valley and tickets can be purchased for each event on their own website. Read more about the story of Halloween here.
