The Bram Stoker Festival is currently in full swing in Dublin; the annual event kicked off on October 26th and continues through the weekend until Monday, October 29th. The festival “playfully celebrates the gothic, the mysterious, the after-dark and the thrill of Halloween, and delves into the legacy of one of Ireland’s most treasured authors. The packed program of events devilishly mixes family-friendly adventures with late-night antics for mates, dates, and everything in between.”
Timed to coincide with the event, the Irish Central Bank has released a commemorative Dracula coin; take a look at the silver €15 piece below.

The Bram Stoker Festival is expected to entertain over 70,000 fans before its conclusion. Festival co-director Tom Lalor gushes:
“I think people have always enjoyed this time of year,” he said. “Traditionally in Ireland Halloween started Samhain. It’s an opportunity to recognize that the seasons are changing but also, we’ve been programming it with various different parties – comedy, theatre, and events – for the last number of years. I think people have grown to expect it as part of the calendar now.”
