Wanna be a skeleton in Ireland’s coolest Halloween parade?

By Yay Cork September 18, 2019September 14, 2020

Trust us; this’ll be a fun gig.

Cork Community Art Link has put a call out for adults interested in being part of the annual Dragon of Shandon parade on Halloween Night, October 31st, 2019.

The group is seeking participants aged over 18 to join the spooky spectacle as Skeleton Troupe dancers and puppeteers.

If you’ve never witnessed the Dragon of Shandon festivities before, you’re in for a treat. Starting at the top of Shandon Street, a collection of terrifying creatures from the underworld lead the way into the city for their leader; a 36ft long ghostly dragon made entirely of tape.

Posting on Twitter, the organisation said: “We are linking with dancer Kareen to choreograph our Dancing Skeleton Troupe this year.

“No previous experience required, if you are 18+just email us at info@corkcommunityartlink.com and we will send you the application form.”

Tick it off your bucket list, pronto.
