With events returning to normal once again following two years of the Covid 19 pandemic, Halloween celebrations are due to return across Co Tyrone.
Chief among the celebrations will be the return of traditional firework displays across many towns in the county. While it has been announced that the Omagh fireworks display will now not be going ahead, there are still other events happening across the county for all the family.
With lots of events happening across the county we thought we would get all the details together of all the Halloween events being run by local councils in Co Tyrone:
