The activities will finish with a fireworks display firing from Na Fianna G.F.C. at the earlier time of 7.30pm.

Deputy Chair of the Council, Councillor Denise Johnston, is looking forward to the return of the popular Halloween events this year.

“From Cookstown to Dungannon, Maghera to Coalisland, it’s fantastic to see our towns and villages once again coming alive with the sights and sounds of Halloween. These events are a highlight of the autumn season – bringing families, friends, and neighbours together for some spooky fun, laughter, and celebration.

“This year’s programme promises something for everyone – from fireworks displays and amusements to family-friendly activities and eerie entertainment. It’s a wonderful opportunity to embrace our creativity, support local businesses, and enjoy the sense of community that makes Mid Ulster such a special place to live.”
