Overview

Calling all ghouls, goblins, fairies, and witches! Come on a trick-or-treat adventure, carve a turnip (the original jack-o’-lantern), play age-old Irish Halloween games, and join Laura Simms, artistic director of Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center, as she brings to life marvelously spooky tales from Celtic mythology with the help of Darrah Carr Dance.

Come in costume!



“At this Irish Halloween celebration, kids can learn about the spooky traditions indigenous to the Emerald Isle.”
Time Out New York

“A major force in the revival of storytelling in America.”
New York Times on Laura Simms
