when was halloween

Halloween is celebrated each year on October 31.

Date of Halloween

• In most of the world where it is observed, Halloween falls on October 31 every year, regardless of the day of the week.

• It is commonly understood as the evening before All Saints’ Day (November 1), which is why it is also called All Hallows’ Eve.

Brief background

• Halloween developed from older observances connected to remembering the dead and the end of the harvest season, including the Celtic festival of Samhain and later Christian feasts like All Saints’ Day.

• Today it is widely marked by activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack‑o’‑lanterns, and other spooky-themed celebrations on the night of October 31.
