Thousands of people took to the streets on Thursday evening to mark the festival finale of Derry’s Halloween celebrations for 2024.

Known to be one of the largest celebrations of Halloween in Europe, the four day festival reached its conclusion on Thursday night.

A parade of more than 600 people made its way through the city centre, while an estimated 30,000 were in attendance to view fireworks on the night.

The finale was the culmination of a four-day carnival of Halloween celebrations in Derry city, which included the popular Awakening the Walled City Trail, featuring street animation, installations, pyrotechnics and performance.

Derry City and Strabane District Council has estimated that over four days of the celebrations over 120,000 people have descended on the city, up 30,000 on 2023.
