Abstract
This case study explores the way in which community festivals can be used to engage and unite, and address social issues in a local community. It explores 'The Big Scream' Halloween festival in North East Inner City Dublin, a festival that was created by the local county council to address anti-social behaviour during Halloween. It highlights the significant positive impact the festival has had on the local community.
