Eliot Von Feczko and Jerzy Feczko first heard about Derry's famous Halloween celebrations through Facebook
Derry’s Halloween celebrations have made such an impression on some Polish pals now living in Northern Ireland that they are preparing to take part in the parade for the eighth time.
“We first heard about Derry via Facebook and around nine years ago we decided to come and check it out for ourselves. We were so impressed that we decided to speak with the organisers and see how we could get more involved the following year. Since then, we have attended and taken part in the parade every year, apart from during the pandemic. We really love being part of something so special.”
"It all depends on the individual costume, but each one can take up to 100 working hours as Eilot is making everything from scratch. All birds, feathers, flowers etc are hand stitched, she’s not using glue or any quick fix solutions. Our masks are handmade as well, built on real impressions of our faces so that they fit perfectly.
