Witches and wizards, monsters and maniacs, ghosts and ghouls all gathered in force, spreading horror and terror through Killarney. Emerging from the shadows, a zombie horde descended, slow and menacing, on the annual scarefest at the Killarney Outlet Centre on Sunday. Eccentric characters mingled with unsuspecting shoppers, unleashing chaos during the wild indoor fancy dress parade. Exciting prizes were up for grabs, including a Christmas in Killarney visit to Santa and lunch at O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Café for the best-dressed family, plus Kerry GAA gift boxes – complete with must-have 2024 jerseys – for the best-dressed boy and girl. Goody bags awaited all children taking part in the parade, but the fun began long before, with Halloween face painting, balloon modelling, a candle-making workshop, amazing magic shows by Tony Wonder, and a chance to snap a photo with Count Dracula himself.
