Swords Castle – Día de los Muertos

About the event

Free, inclusive, family-friendly celebration in the grounds of historic Swords Castle from 12-6pm, 1st November.

Honouring loved ones who have passed, this culturally authentic event celebrates life and togetherness through music, food, art and remembrance. Brought to you by Swords Castle in partnership with the South and Central American Community.

In the restored Chapel see a decorated ofrenda (altar), in memory of recently departed community members. Talks will explain the context and meaning of the celebration.

Indoor storytelling for all. Outdoors enjoy Latin American and South American food, then settle in for a screening of Pixar’s Coco. Performers bring the festival atmosphere to life with music and dance.

Please dress appropriately for an outdoor event.
