Our Artistic Journey
Since its inception in 2001, Cluainín Carnival Arts has been dedicated to fostering local talent and bringing communities together in Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim. We produce the celebrated annual Samhain Parade, a vibrant Halloween arts event that showcases the work of local artists, youth groups, and intercultural communities. Our year-round workshops, collaborations, and outreach programmes aim to cultivate creativity and artistic expression in our community. With plans to expand the beloved Samhain Parade to Sligo by 2026, we are committed to enriching lives through creativity and connection, making a meaningful impact on those we serve.
