When is Halloween?
Halloween is on October 31 every year. The name comes from All Hallows’ Eve, the evening before All Saints’ Day on November 1.
The date never moves, but the weekday does. When Halloween falls on a weekday, parties and events are often held on the weekend before.
Getting ready
A month out is a good time to settle on costumes; pumpkins carved more than a few days early tend to soften, so many people carve them in the last week.
