About Halloween

Halloween is observed annually on October 31. It has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off wandering spirits. Over centuries it merged with Christian All Saints' Day traditions, and by the 20th century had evolved into the largely secular holiday known today. In the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, Halloween is marked by trick-or-treating, costume parties, haunted houses, and jack-o'-lantern carving. Candy corn and pumpkins are among its most iconic symbols.
