At this Irish Halloween celebration, kids can learn about the spooky traditions indigenous to the Emerald Isle. Irish Arts Center's Oíche Shamhna (that's EE-huh how-nah) promises spooky shows, creepy crafts and magical music.
This year's event will explore the similarities and differences between the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain and the Latin American celebrations of Día de los Muertos, with performances from Darrah Carr Dance and Mazarte Dance Company, storytelling in Spanish, Irish, and English, and a visual arts project by Chilean artist Niktalope.
The fun takes place on Sunday, November 2 at the Irish Arts Center in Hell's Kitchen. It's recommended for ages 4–8, but kids of all ages are welcome. Be sure to buy tickets in advance.
