Frequently Asked Questions About Halloween

When is Halloween 2026?

Halloween is always celebrated on October 31st. In 2026, Halloween falls on a Saturday.

What are the origins of Halloween?

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, which later became Halloween.

Why do we trick-or-treat on Halloween?

Trick-or-treating evolved from the ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats and food to placate spirits who roamed the streets at Samhain, a sacred festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year.

Why do we carve pumpkins for Halloween?

Jack-o'-lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday. When Irish immigrants came to America, they found pumpkins were more readily available and easier to carve than turnips.
