Sunday 25 October 2026 — Macnas returns to the streets of Galway, and Victoria Hotel puts you a minute from Eyre Square for the night.
Macnas has confirmed its 2026 Galway parade, Fiáin, for Sunday 25 October — the October bank holiday weekend. Stay in the city centre, make an evening of it in the Latin Quarter 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.
Queen Street serves dinner daily, and tables fill up on busy city weekends, so reserve a table once your room is booked. 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 wander through the pedestrian streets or a coffee by the river before heading 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.
