Bram Stoker Festival 2013

Bram Stoker Festival, Dublin, 26th – 28th October 2013

The Bram Stoker Festival is inspired by the life’s work of one of Dublin’s most notorious citizens, Bram Stoker, the writer of world-famous gothic novel, Dracula.

On Halloween week, the popular festival thrilled families with an eclectic mix of attractions, ranging from spooky city tours to the impressive ‘Fire Garden’ exhibition.

Magnum Events were contracted to provide production management and support services for some of the outdoor spectacles and events, namely; Dracula’s Fire Garden, the Skeleton Parade, the Spine Chilling Sights & Sounds in the City, and Vampire Hunt.
