MARKET LANE HELPS AWAKEN THE DRAGON OF SHANDON
Proudly presented by Cork Community Art link, the highly anticipated Dragon of Shandon event will take place on 31 October 2025 at 7 pm (starting from Church St). It sees over 450 participants from 20 local community groups come together to create a night of unforgettable celebration of the ancient Irish tradition of Samhain; while awakening the majestic Dragon from under Cork’s historic streets to prowl the city for one night only. This year is the 20th anniversary of this unmissable spectacle.
Market Lane has made a long-term commitment to supporting this community initiative. “We are so proud to be associated with this really important local initiative”, says Conrad Howard, “one which represents such a range of artistic collaborations, embodying the very best creative spirit of the city”.
