Step into a world where ancient Celtic ritual meets gothic revelry in a night that honours both our pagan past and the shadows of the future. Set within the candlelit elegance of the Westenra Town Hall Ballroom, the Dracéilí summons the spirit of Samhain — a Celtic-Draco celebration of transformation, storytelling and dance beneath the chandelier’s glow.
The evening begins with a champagan reception before descending into an immersive spectacle of theatrics, live music, and ritual performance. With tales from Aron Hegarty of Candlelit Tales, music by Caoimhín, and a spellbinding late set from DJ Trad Bundy, guests are invited to lose themselves in the rhythm of myth and mystery. Fancy dress is essential — from pagan priestess to futuristic vampire — as this is no ordinary Halloween party, but a rite of imagination, magic, and metamorphosis.
Fancy dress is essential. Prizes for best dressed include weekend Electric Picnic tickets and Monaghan Town Vouchers.
