Wake The Dragon Of Shandon 2024

The Dragon of Shandon is our flagship event and takes place on the night of October 31st, attracting over 15,000 people onto the streets of Cork City. For over 18 years the 36-foot dragon, made entirely with tape by the hands of the community, has emerged from the underworld to prowl the streets escorted by her legion of loyal skeletons, ghouls, beasts, and misfits to celebrate the ancient tradition of Samhain in a thrilling nighttime parade and finale show attracting thousands of spectators, young and old, to Cork City. Cork Community Art Link is privileged to bring the dragon to the streets of Cork in 2024 as it demonstrates the importance of cultural democracy and empowers communities to express themselves through art and with your kind donations we can make it happen. We can feed the dragon. We can wake it up. We can celebrate our traditions, our City, our people and, above all, we can all contribute to the cultural life of our community.
