Brace Yourselves: Halloween is Coming!

Hey guys! As is the normal custom, it's been a while since my last post! Life is busy with college and you know, living here in Spain! So, sorry for the long waiting periods between posts!
So it's the coming to the end of the fall season with Halloween coming around the corner which means... Christmas is coming! What is it? 9 or 10 weeks before Christmas? This year is going scarily fast!
As a change up from talking about myself. A difficult task to not talk about myself... But I think you might enjoy if I share some cool events and stuff that are happening around the place for Halloween this year. Some cool stuff here in Madrid, parties and events in Ireland for those of you looking to party elsewhere! And lets hope you all find a good party for All Hallow's Eve!

Madrid:
Here in Madrid, clubs can be quite mysterious about events up until the week of or even a few days before the event is happening, So, when planning a night out in Madrid, it's cool to check all the nightclubs, their offers and cool things going on. As it stands, there are a few events listed in Madrid so far, and I will keep the events updated when new information comes about.

  • Joy Eslava: "Halloween 2016 @ Joy Eslava" This party is said to be the biggest costume party in Madrid and has been hosting an annual event since 2003 with "some of the most impressive and elaborate costumes in the city". A No-Costume, No-Drink Deal promotion is on, so if you're thinking of going to Joy on the 31st, be sure to dress as scary and cool as possible! (Joy Eslava- C/Arenal, 11. Near Sol Metro station)
  • Moondance: This costume event is set to be a real scare and an awesome night. Moondance is one of my favourite clubs in Madrid. Some of the best music and cool atmosphere. On All Saints Day, this will be the darkest night in Moondance and is said to be a real "Night of Terror". Offers are 1 drink and entry for €6 and 2 drinks and entry for €10 between midnight and 1am, 1 drink + entry = €8 and 2 drinks + entry = €12 until 2pm. This place has some good offers and I'm sure their costume party will be awesome. (Moondance- C/ Aduana 21. Between Sol and Sevilla Metro Stations) https://www.facebook.com/Moondance-Madrid-511225095607096/
  • Shoko Madrid: Shoko Nightclub is one of the coolest nightclubs I've been to in the La Latina area of Madrid. A very funky and vibrant area. The nightclub boasts a local crowd and the music is a real mix of latin music and top 40 bangers. This Halloween at Shoko, they've posted on their Facebook "This #Halloween promises to be unique! Get ready because this month we'll offer some of the most special nights of the year." So I'm expecting that there will be a great party there, for those of you who like a cool environment in a nightclub, I think Shoko is the place for you! (Shoko Madrid- C/ Toledo 86.

Ireland:
Of course I gotta mention some of the parties happening in Ireland. I have a biased opinion that some of the greatest parties you'll experience will happen in Ireland. Debatable opinion, I know, but I mean, we always gotta party to live up to our stereotype! So here are a few of the haunting events happening on Halloween in Ireland, that if I was there, I'd wanna check out:
  • Sligo
    • So Halloween is starting early this year in Sligo as Sixth nightclub are hosting "Halloween Horror Story Monday" starting on the 24th! This night is gonna be a fun one, I think! €1000 prize for the best costume plus a €2 entry I mean, if that doesn't sound good to you. A grand for the best costume! You'll be laughing with that kind of cash! I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not there for it, to be honest. Sixth always has great music and a real student atmosphere. Check out the event page for "Halloween Horror               Story": https://www.facebook.com/events/556353551224103/  
    • Also in Sligo during this Halloween period is the Garavogue Bar is throwing a shindig for Halloween on the 30th with a €250 best costume prize. I love the Garavogue. You'll almost always have a really good night here. Drinks a bit pricey but the music is always banging! On a night out in Sligo, the Garavogue is definitely one of the regular haunts of mine.
    • HMVSoundgarden is a nice place for a night out. The place is massive and the music is always good too. For Halloween this year, HMVsoundgarden are doing a "Chamber of Horrors". This looks like it'll be a cool night and the party will be creepy AF! But also extremely lit. "what will undoubtedly be a very impressive performance from Extreme Rythm! We will also have performances from Fire Breathers, Stilt Walkers, Crazy Doctors, Blood Thirsty Nurses, Monsters, Tribal Dancers! This is NOT a night to be missed!"

  • Pulse Letterkenny: Letterkenny is gonna be lit on the 30th of October this Halloween with a cool Halloween party. Not much info has been released yet but David Graig's band is to play at this Halloween gig with other cool performers and a great and haunting atmosphere. Here is their page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/pulseletterkenny/?fref=ts
  • McGettigans- Galway: Most of the nightclubs in Galway City haven't stated Halloween parties yet, but I'll update this page as soon as they are revealed. In McGettigans, Galway, which is just on Eyre Square, they are hosting a "Spooktacular Session" and you know, you gotta say yes to the sesh. Happening between the 28th and the 31st, I'd say this is one hell of a session to go on. They'll feature many spot prizes and also, I see the words "Late Bar", so a session has to be had! Stay tuned for more info on the nightclubs of Galway :)
