The Famous Dragon of Shandon has postponed the 2013 parade to gather forces to turn the annual Halloween event into a 3 day festival in 2014.
The 36 ft Dragon made entirely of tape and his host of ghosts and ghouls will remain in the underworld this Halloween as they begin planning for the 3 day community festival which will take place from the 29th to the 31st of October 2014.
To allow the Dragon time to gather his troops for this exciting journey to festival status, the parade will not take place this year. Instead the festival programme for next year will be launched this Halloween by the Lord Mayor and planning and workshops are already under way.
