Sunday 25 October 2026 — Macnas returns to the streets of Galway, and Eyre Square Hotel puts you beside Eyre Square for the night.
Macnas has confirmed its 2026 Galway parade, Fiáin, for Sunday 25 October — the October bank holiday weekend. Arrive by train, drop your bags, enjoy the city and the parade, and walk back to your room instead of driving home in the dark.

Plan around the parade
Macnas describes Fiáin as a celebration of the wild, inspired by the elements of the West of Ireland and forty years of the company’s work. Route and timing details are published by Macnas closer to the date — check macnas.com before you travel and leave your evening flexible.
Travelling from Dublin? Direct trains arrive at Ceannt Station, practically at our doorstep, so there is no need for a car. Make a weekend of it by adding the Saturday night.
Breakfast, then the rest of Galway
Take the Monday bank holiday at your own pace: a Full Irish Breakfast, then a last stroll through the pedestrian streets or along the river before your journey home.
This is a hotel stay, not an event package — dining, transport and other activities are arranged separately. Your room rate and its terms are shown before you confirm.
