This Halloween, Belong To will be hosting a week of fun and spooky free events specifically organised for LGBTQ+ youth. Running from October 28 to 31, these eerie celebrations are not to be missed!
As Ireland’s national LGBTQ+ youth organisation, Belong To is committed to creating safe spaces where young queer people can gather, meet new friends, and be their true selves. They do so by organising meet-up and support groups, and also through special events organised throughout the year. And what better time to gather LGBTQ+ young folk than during the queerest season of the year?
With a series of events and gatherings to celebrate Samhain together, Belong To is taking over Dublin City Centre for a spooky week of fun. From eerie garden tours to more classic movie nights and parties, all events included in the programme are free and specially curated for LGBTQ+ young people aged 14 to 23.
Here are the events included in Belong To’s programme to get you in the Halloween spirit.
