Halloween in Ireland … Limerick Festival and Brendan and Martin Mulvihill Traditional Music Week in Glin

Looking for a way to keep the Samhain magic alive? After you’ve immersed yourself in the eerie, ancient roots of Halloween in Limerick City, don’t let the fire die out. Follow the scenic coast road west to the banks of the Shannon for a truly soul-stirring experience.

The Brendan and Martin Mulvihill Traditional Music Week in Glin 2026 is the ultimate continuation of our autumn celebrations. While Samhain marks the turning of the year, Glin keeps the light burning with an incredible week dedicated to:

Traditional Music & Song: Hear the master fiddle styles of the Mulvihills echoed in every pub and hall.

Dance: Dust off your shoes for sets and steps that bring the community to life.

Culture & Heritage: Experience the warmth of a village that lives and breathes Irish tradition.

It’s more than just a festival; it’s a homecoming. The journey from the city’s Samhain spectacles to the intimate sessions of Glin is the perfect way to embrace the spirit of November
