The zombies are coming

The streets of Kilkenny will come alive with the undead next weekend, as Thrillkenny Zombiefest 2012 comes to town. The two-day street festival, on October 27th and 28th, will include zombified street performances, a link-in with the global Thriller dance world-record attempt on Saturday, free Thriller dance workshops with the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival award-winning dance company, Ponydance.

Professional make-up artists will help to perfect your zombie look, and there are some ghoulish happenings late at night, including a Zombie Dead Disco. See thrillkenny.com.
