An Irish Halloween / Oíche Shamhna
The Banshee's Sound Garden

Saturday, October 31 | 12 pm – 4 pm

Enjoy an Irish connection to New York City ’s favorite holiday!

Immerse your family in the dream-like world of the mythical Irish Banshee, notorious for their mysterious, echoing howls and spooky singing. Emerging children musicians, sound artists, and noise enthusiasts will explore rhythm, sound, and music in creative, enjoyable, and educational ways. The day is filled with hands-on workshops for kids and parents alike—from an interactive sound installation, to an instrument making workshop, to Banshee face painting lessons and dress up, to a children’s concert created in collaboration with Stomp and Shout, and more. Oíche Shamhna Shona Daoibh (Happy Halloween)!
