Prob off the Halloween theme but you could go along to either of Two big games Friday night Connacht v Munster in Sportsground and Galway United v Dundalk in Terryland. Not sure why they clash but either worth a visit . More seats in the latter!

Then back to town for the Macnas parade.

Eyre Square centre are doing a free trick and treat trail on Monday 2-4pm. We went last time they did it (?2015) and came home with a lovely bag of freebies. Starts at the new entrance doors (free registration and they give you a bag to bring to shops etc for the treats).

+1 for the Macnas parade on Sunday. Arrive early for a good view.

Halloween theme at junior Parkrun this Sunday morning 9.30am in renville park Oranmore. Free registration at Parkrun.ie - bring registration barcode with you for each child to get official time (not essential but nice to do).
