When is Halloween?
Halloween is always celebrated on October 31, the evening before All Saints’ Day on November 1.
Halloween’s date never moves, but the day of the week does. A weekday Halloween often means trick-or-treating on a school night, while a Friday or Saturday Halloween is popular for parties, so it pays to check ahead.
Most people start counting down to Halloween around the start of October, when costumes, decorations and pumpkin carving plans kick off.
