The event features food and other vendors, aircraft and exhibits, aviation-style trick-or-treating and candy drops. <\/strong>In 2024, Shannon hosted its first-ever Haunted Hangar Tour, <\/strong>and it has become part of the annual tradition!  <\/p>\n

Visitors can expect to see historic aircraft, such as the C-54 Spirit of Freedom<\/strong>, dedicated to honoring its significant role in the Berlin Airlift, and the DC-3 Shannon Air Express<\/strong>, which were on display during the 2025 festival. <\/strong>Guests can also visit the Shannon Air Museum during the event. <\/p>\n

Children ages 12 and under are encouraged to dress in costume and invited to take part in candy drops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
