Things are set to get spooky in Killarney this Halloween as the Killarney Outlet Centre hosts its annual Halloween Horror Spooktacular on Sunday, October 26, from 2pm to 6pm.

Ghosts, ghouls, witches, and monsters will take over the centre for an afternoon of frightful fun, with the highlight being the fancy dress parade. Every child who takes part will receive a goody bag, and there are great prizes up for grabs.
Prizes will be awarded for Best Dressed Boy and Best Dressed Girl, each receiving a Kerry GAA gift box including a signed 2025 goalkeeper’s jersey, sponsored by the Kerry GAA Store. The Best Dressed Family will win a Christmas in Killarney family visit to Santa 2025 and lunch for the whole family, sponsored by O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Café.
The afternoon will also include free magic shows at 2.30pm and 4.30pm, free face painting, balloon modelling, and a kids’ mini disco.
