Dragon of Shandon Parade                                    A PROJECT BY Cork Community Art Link

Thank You! Friends and Supporters

The 10th Dragon of Shandon Samhain Parade took place on 31st October, a beautiful calm and still night in Cork City. With over 500 participants it was our biggest parade to date. Thousands of spectators lined the streets in Shandon dressed in Halloween themed creations and an electric air of community carnival reigned on the streets. We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all participants, volunteers and friends who made the parade possible as well as to the many sponsors who come on board with financial and in kind support.

Go Raibh Mile maith agaibh!


This event is facilitated by Cork Community Art Link.

Each year up to 100 individuals take part in our voluntary participation programme learning skills in prop making, mask and costumes, project development and event management. Some volunteer a couple of hours on the day of the event. Others have a longer term engagement spanning several months. Many return on an annual basis from Ireland, Europe and beyond and leave each year equipped with new skills, learning and friends gained during the course of the project.

The children of Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers put a lot of work into creating two short dramatic pieces for radio to promote the Dragon.
