Halloween Carnival gets underway 31.10.08

DERRY City Council has put in place a number of facilities to ensure the smooth running of the Banks of the Foyle Halloween Carnival in the city tonight.
An Information Point has been set up at the entrance to the Guildhall and staff will be on hand between 2pm and 5pm today, Friday, to answer any queries.
The main stage and family friendly zone have changed location this year from the Guildhall Square to the Riverfront along Queen's Quay. Free family entertainment will begin from 6pm tonight at the main stage.
This will be set up at the quay car park - the closest one to the Derry City Council offices. The area between the City Hotel and main stage is a designated alcohol free zone that will be stewarded from 5pm until 9pm when the family friendly zone will close. Below is the new route for tonight's Halloween Carnival Parade:
Departing 7pm from Guildhall Street travelling past the rear of the Guildhall down the dual carriageway past the City Hotel and continuing along Queen’s Quay towards Queen’s Quay roundabout. It will turn left onto Strand Road where the parade will finish. The ever popular fireworks over the River Foyle will begin at 8pm.
The fireworks promise to be even bigger and better this year with added musical accompaniment. For more information click here .
