Samhain Community Dance Spectacle, A Thriller in Eyre Square
Galway City, Co. Galway
30 October 2025
Family friendly
Free to visit
The Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy is taking over Eyre Square with a spine-tingling community dance spectacle. This is a vibrant, inclusive street spectacle that encourages everyone—dancers, families, residents, and visitors—to dress up & participate.

This fun, family-friendly event will bring Samhain to life with a spectacular reimagining of Michael Jackson’s legendary "Thriller" dance. We invite Galway's residents, community groups, and dance schools to step into a space "out of time" and embody powerful figures from Irish folklore.

This vibrant, inclusive street spectacle encourages dancers, families, residents, and visitors—to dress up and participate. The Genevieve Ryan Dance Academy has created easy-to-follow instructional videos so you can learn the moves ahead of time, and professional dancers will be on hand to guide everyone through the routine.
