Halloween in the Liberties is huge and amazing, and it’s a free-for-all of fireworks and good cheer.

The Dublin Halloween street faire was the absolute opposite, unfortunately.

We’d heard about the street faire a few days ahead of time – It was supposed to be this huge affair, with a parade and amazing puppets that would tell the story of Samhain, put on by a legendary prop studio based out of… Galway, I think?

And I’m sure it was amazing! For the very few people who were able to see it.

See… the parade and puppets were small. Short, specifically. And the parade route didn’t quite have any elevated viewing opportunities – at least none that us, or our friends from the apartment building, were able to find.

Instead, we found a whole pile of people milling around trying to get a glimpse of these “super cool puppets”… Maybe someone has a video, they’d like to share?

Meh. You win some, you lose some.

We did get to dress up, though, so that was fun.
